I really enjoyed the journey of creating my first video from scratch. Now, I feel like I can use WeVideo to create other videos and perhaps teach 2nd grade students how to use this program. One of the main challenges of creating the 90 second video was to be precise with the script and images because the video had to fit a certain time frame. I enjoyed working within the time frame because it made me use a lot of editing tools. Since this was my first WeVideo I ever created, all the editing tools were new tools that I was learning to use. The main success was the video itself. It's not perfect nor will it win any 90 second video awards. However, it is original in it's design and I'm proud to have learned a new tech tool that I could apply to the creation of something. I enjoyed working with audio, graphics, images, and video to create a digital story. The tech expert at my school uses WeVideo and IMovie, and knowing that a lot of people in my cohort are also using IMovie makes me want to learn how to use it as well. When the graduate program is over and I have more free time I would love to explore WeVideo in greater depth and learn how to use IMovie. I look forward to the coming year and beyond to start creating professional videos for school and personal hobby. I've already thought of ideas such as creating a video for Back to School Night to show to the parents that would be informative and engaging with images and screencasts of their children starting the school year.

I had the same thoughts about creating my video. Getting my speech to synchronize with my pictures was the most challenging. I had to say the main points quickly. I really liked your video and thought it was engaging. I started with wevideo then ended up frustrated and used Imovie. Imovie was more user friendly and I think you will like it when you decide to us it in the future. It's great that you figured out wevideo though.

Joe, I think your idea to create a video for back to school night is great! I think that with the prevalence of Facebook, and other social media sites, folks are drawn to videos. In my nonprofit work, we would track the effectiveness of media posts (in terms of views, and clicks), we found that video posts did significantly better overall. We concluded that folks just don't like to read. Also, since you work in a bilingual environment you could make the video bilingual, that would be a great way to reveal the school culture that values diversity and both languages.
