Each year, as part of the company’s commitment to empowering creative video learning, WeVideo selects new ambassadors to join our existing WeVideo Ambassador cohort. These folks frequently incorporate multimedia and interactive video into their teaching practices.
In a competitive process, we review applicants who have completed core WeVideo certification courses and identify those who demonstrate leadership in their districts and among their peers, showing them the power of interactive video to bridge learning gaps and bolster positive learning outcomes.
WeVideo Ambassadors help promote the benefits of interactive video tools within their respective educational communities. They also provide crucial product feedback to help us continue making improvements to our platform and continue raising the bar of educational excellence.
We’re excited to add the following additions to our Ambassador team!
