Create a personal narrative  

Everyone has a story, and when we share our own experiences, they can be a motivating factor for others -- and help us reflect on our lives and choices. Narratives can be about students themselves, a fictional character or historical person. A few easy ways to record these include:

1.     a simple smartphone recording uploaded to the Google Drive mobile app

2.     add a video to a slide in a shared Google Slides presentation 

Record interviews (in person or virtually) 

The people around us and around the world are living history. Their experiences, information, and advice is a treasure trove waiting to be mined. Use a video response tool like Flipgrid (flipgrid.com) to record interviews. They could be in-person interviews where both parties sit next to each other in the camera's frame. Or, they could be virtual interviews, where someone far away records responses to questions in a Flipgrid video (just share the link with them to record a video). They can be serious, silly ... even fictional. The sky's the limit!

3. Create a whiteboard animation 

Set up something with a camera so it won't move (on a tripod or otherwise). Aim it at a whiteboard or chalkboard. Record and start drawing. Use video editing tools to speed it up to four times its normal speed and add a voiceover (and music?).

Book Report/Reviews

Do you assign students write book reports or reviews?  Instead of writing book reports or reviews in worksheets, have students create a video.  Students can talk about Plot and Theme of the book. Depending on the grade level, you can break the book into sections and have a one group create a video about the Plot, other groups can do Theme, Story Elements, etc.  Students can create a video analyzing characters in a book.

7. Take your video projects anywhere with green screen 

Green screen apps let students superimpose themselves over an image or video background. This makes it look like they're almost anywhere in the world (or beyond!) in these videos. Inexpensive apps like Green Screen by Do Ink can make it happen. (Here's a video that shows how it works.) You don't need a fancy green screen to stand in front of, either. A green painted wall, a green fabric background or even a green disposable tablecloth can work!

8. Create GIF examples of classroom content 

GIFs are the moving image files. They're kind of like silent video that's treated like a picture file. By using a free GIF maker, students can create videos of anything class related and place it on a class website or share simply. Teachers can also make short animations to use for demonstrations. 

9. Record video self assessment

Students do it themselves, it empowers them to be lifelong learners. Recording a video and posting it to Seesaw gives students a place for that self assessment.

10. Make video with an app 

Lots of apps (on the web or for mobile devices) are built to create fun videos that can demonstrate learning! Here are some examples:

·         Create book reports, step-by-step videos and more using Adobe Spark Video. 

·         Telestory is a mobile app that helps you create flashy videos with fun overlays. Create and record a TV show, make music videos, use night vision effects and more in your videos. Then save the video to your camera roll.

·         Chatterpix is a mobile app that brings an inanimate object or photo to life! Show the app where the mouth is in the photo and record some audio. It'll make the mouth move along with your voice!

·         Triller is a mobile app that lets you record fun music videos. Find a song that fits with what you're learning and record several video takes that show what you've learned.
