Fourth graders at Holladay Elementary have been learning about Jamestown (VS.3) and many of them have been on field trips there, so today students in Ms. Rivara’s class created Jamestown videos. They used WeVideo to create their movies. Since this was the second time they’ve used it (their first time is here), their skills improved. We worked with partners again, since WeVideo works better when less computers are online. First we clicked the red record button and filmed our intro. Then the students searched for photos of Jamestown to use in their movie. They uploaded the photos and arranged them in order on the timeline. Next, they pressed the microphone button and recorded a voiceover explaining the photos. Finally the students selected a theme with music. We had to turn down the volume of the music on the timeline and turn up the volume of the voiceover in order to hear it. The students published their videos and posted the links to Google classroom. You can watch some of their videos here.
