Transform learning through media projects

Media projects are a great way to build 21st century skills as students collaborate to create compelling content to effectively communicate complex ideas and customize their message for an intended audience. They work great as a culminating assessment piece for project-based learning units that promote student agency, choice, and voice. They are also a great way to build foundational and media literacy skills. On top of all that, they're a lot of fun!

Check out the projects below for a fun way to get started making student media creation a regular part of your classroom. You can easily assign these projects to students with a single click from the assignment ideas library. Sign in to WeVideo and click "assignment ideas" to access the full library of ready-made media projects and activities!
