A. Video project ideas for elementary school students
Video projects for elementary students are primarily a way for teachers to ensure understanding and interest in the classroom. This can also be a good tool for students to think about different topics. Let's look at some ideas for video projects for this age group:
1. Lesson summary
Have your students summarize history or literature lessons on video. Have students research the main characters and events in the story and create videos around these concepts. This gives students the opportunity to learn how to tell digital stories, as well as thoroughly investigate important historical figures! For example, watch this video that shares the history of television!
2. Share a talented video
Have the students share a video with a talent performance! They can share singing, dancing, drawing, art, baking, playing an instrument, or many similar videos. This can be a fun activity as students learn more about their peers. For example, check out this promotional video for the launch of a music artist that students can use to promote their music videos.
3. Create a video book report.
Instead of traditional book reports, have students create book or progress reports for different literature projects. This can be a great way to spark students' curiosity about concepts that you will also teach them about! Take a look at this video book report.
4. Celebrate a holiday
Have the students create videos about their traditional or religious holidays. This is a great way to develop curiosity, awareness and tolerance towards different races and cultures. Watch the Christmas Facts video as an example.
5. Create videos for science experiments
Encourage students to create their own slides to explain science experiments and their results. In this way, students begin to think about STEM disciplines in a more analytical and practical way. Please refer to the lesson plan presentation below which can be used to document the objectives and results of such an experiment.
B. Video project ideas for high school students
Video projects for high school students can be a little more advanced as they are in the process of developing their skills and learning more about different topics.
1. Create a video file
High school is when students start thinking about college applications. This is the time to start building a portfolio. Teachers can provide students with the opportunity to create a portfolio video and share their unique skills and interests. For example, students interested in engineering, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics can share knowledge related to science or coding. Take a look at this group of text authors as an example.
2. Create a news program
Students need to know about current events, both for their school community and for the world around them. Having a school news program is a way to connect with the school's community of students, teachers, staff and parents. This can be a team effort that helps students learn the value of teamwork and assignment. Watch this newscast video that you can customize to create your own weekly news program.
3. Take a video tour of an important site
Whether students are visiting a site, on a field trip, on vacation, or anytime, they can share their learning experience with others by recording a video and telling stories as they go. (If they're in a museum or other similar venues, it's probably a good idea to ask permission first!) If they can't visit, creating a video slideshow with InVideo is also an option. Ask your students to share video projects in important locations as homework. These projects can also be associated with festivals, concepts and cultural activities. For example, take a look at the slideshow of our Halloween tour around the country.
4. Share practice records
Learning a language, cooking, music or sport requires constant practice. To measure each student's progress, you can ask them to record themselves as they learn to play an instrument or speak a new language. Students can create video projects for themselves learning or mastering a specific song, key phrases, and more. For example, watch this violinist's progress video.
5. Create an advertisement or promotional video for school events.
Have students produce an advertisement or presentation for a school event. This might include a political announcement about the election of a class president, a video resume, or an announcement about the school's latest games or tournaments. Students should think about the audience they are trying to reach and the length of the advertisement. For example, check out this video of the match poster.
6. Promote a good cause
Have the students create a video project that promotes a cause they believe in. This helps them build their opinions and develop persuasion skills. Students can share this video with everyone, not just the class! For example, here's a video you can dedicate to debunking myths about lifestyle (becoming a vegetarian in this case).
C. Video project ideas for higher education students
After high school, it may seem that video projects are not that important. But this is the time when students focus more on improving job-related skills. Video projects can help students demonstrate their areas of understanding and interests, especially to future employers. So let's look at some video project ideas for these students.
1. Meet interesting people
The people around us and around the world are living history. Their expertise, information and advice is a treasure waiting to be digged. Ask your students to interview people in their areas of interest or interesting jobs. It can be in-person interviews where both parties sit next to each other or it can be virtual interviews, where a remote person records the answers to the questions. These interviews can serve as teaching aids that help students connect with people in their future jobs. Watch this video interview on how to connect with people to tell their life stories.
Create your own video highlighting interesting interviews by sharing quotes, testimonials, and more. Watch this video testimonial as an example that you can use and customize.
2. Teach a concept through videos
True understanding of something is the ability to teach it to others. Students can make a video of themselves completing a task on their computer screen, or they can make a demonstration video as a coding class. Teachers and professors can use these videos to help reinforce skills in their classes or even change some of their lessons. For example, check out this video tutorial on note-taking apps.
3. Create a self-assessment video
Being able to evaluate yourself is a critical skill that students need to improve. Self-assessment enables students to become better learners. It also allows them to take an active part in your evaluation and pay for a rating they consider unfair - a direct link to workplace performance evaluations! Customize this video testimonial to create your own self-assessment video.
4. Create a video presentation of a written assignment.
Written assignments are an essential component when it comes to college. But only teachers and classmates can see them. Alternatively, creating a short promotional video about a written assignment is a great way for students to share their work with more people and learn editing skills at the same time. Watch this digital marketing trends video that you can use to create your own video presentations.
5. Create a video CV
For most students, the job search begins at the university itself. A video CV helps highlight key skills and shares the student's personality and attitude with employers. Especially when applied to remote or remote placements, a video summary along with a regular resume provides highlights. Showcase your resume with a video that you can use as a template to create your own.
6. Create a promotional video for the college
Universities and colleges need as much promotion as possible. It is the best of students to share their experiences and highlights. Encourage students to create unique videos featuring the best college stories or areas. This is also a good way to get them to research interesting aspects of college life. Watch the promotional video for the university and make it your own.
