Engaging Students with VideoStew: Real-Life Examples and Practical Guide

Digital Transformation of Education Using AI

In today's educational landscape, digital transformation is no longer optional but a necessity.

Especially with the integration of generative AI into education, frontline teachers are increasingly interested in EdTech.

This technology goes beyond merely digitizing learning materials; it plays a crucial role in enhancing student engagement and fostering creative thinking.

Particularly with the integration of teaching and evaluation, there's a growing need among teachers to design classes that actively involve students.

Ways to Use VideoStew

VideoStew is a web-based AI video editing SaaS solution that can be effectively utilized in various educational activities.

Here are some specific examples of how VideoStew can enrich your lessons.

Common Educational Use Cases

1) Career Aspiration Shorts

Students can write down their career aspirations and use VideoStew to create short videos. By simply drafting a script, they can easily produce video content and share it with friends, helping to concretize their dreams.

2) News-Based Shorts

By inputting news links related to the class into VideoStew, students can quickly create a draft of a short video. They can then further investigate the news article and produce a short video that includes their own narrative.

This helps students develop critical thinking and information analysis skills.

3) Smartphone Vlogs

Students can create vlogs based on simple videos they shoot with their smartphones.

This stimulates their creativity and improves media literacy. Since VideoStew allows for easy video editing without the need for understanding traditional video editing tools, it minimizes the time needed to learn the tool.

Examples of Use in Korean and English Classes

1) Writing My Autobiography

Using GPT, you can write an English script, edit images in VideoStew, and create an autobiography with AI voice. Of course, you can also record your own voice on the website for more lively content.

2) Turning Fairy Tale Scripts into Videos

Students can write fairy tale scripts in groups, create background images using generative AI (e.g., Midjourney), and produce fairy tale videos using VideoStew's Text-to-Video (TTV) feature.

Examples of Use in Creative Activities

1) Turning Book Reports into Videos

After writing book reports, students can create videos using stock videos and images. This provides an opportunity for students to express their thoughts audiovisually.

2) Creating Videos for Special Lessons

Students watch special lessons (e.g., understanding disabilities, gender equality, school violence prevention) and then create videos expressing what they learned from the education.

This allows students to think deeply about important social issues and learn how to express their opinions.

Real-Life Examples of Using VideoStew

Now, let's introduce some real-life examples of how VideoStew is being used in schools for various lessons.

BookTuber, Reading-Related Projects

At the Yongin Education Support Center's Gifted Education Institute, students are participating in a project called 'I am also a BookTuber, Reading Genius,' where they read one book per week and create videos about memorable quotes or their impressions.

The videos created during this process are shared on Padlet, allowing students to communicate with each other through comments.

Through Padlet, very active communication is taking place, and about 1,700 videos have been created and shared over the past 6 months.

Here is an example of a student creating a video content about their thoughts on a book they read.

Also, at Wirae Elementary School, they are running a book recommendation project where students create book recommendation videos using VideoStew and share them on their YouTube channel.

So many book introduction videos are being uploaded. It's amazing to think that these are all made by elementary students.

Shall we take a look at one of the actual videos?

Travel Destination Introduction Project

At Seongnam Hwarang Elementary School, students participated in a class where they created videos introducing travel destinations.

They say that the use of GIFs significantly increased student engagement. Here are two travel introduction videos created by the students.

Example videos:

And here's one more piece of content to introduce.

This isn't a travel video, but an example of creating images related to Fubao using generative AI and making a short creative fairy tale starring Fubao. (It's just too cute not to share.)

With VideoStew's intuitive video editing experience combined with generative AI, you can easily create and share such fun content.

Ignite Creativity in Your Classroom with VideoStew

By utilizing VideoStew, you can actively engage students in various classes and capture the results of their learning in videos.

Many have provided positive feedback after incorporating VideoStew into their lessons.

Students particularly love the ability to create their own videos using quirky AI voices (which they amusingly refer to as "kid voices"...), fun sound effects, and GIFs.

Teachers, on the other hand, appreciate it from an evaluation perspective. The video content created by each student can be accessed anytime, making it easier for future assessment and record-keeping.

Although VideoStew started as a service for businesses and individual creators, we also offer a dedicated pricing plan for schools as an edtech solution.
