WeVideo
WeVideo is a very simple to use yet powerful video editor which can be used by teachers to help students learn the art of video editing. The idea behind WeVideo Classroom is to integrate all the tools into the editor itself so that teachers can set project assessments, monitor them, comment and ultimately mark them for student feedback.
