WeVideo is a free web-based video editing program that lets students and teachers upload video and photos to the WeVideo media library. This library can be shared or private, which is great for classroom projects. Users can add titles, effects, animation, music, narration and more to create their own video story. WeVideo makes it easy to share a video story or publish the finished video to a social-networking or video-sharing website. This looks to be a rather full-featured and well designed video editing option that is similar to Creaza or the recently departed JayCut, but with the collaborative media library as a big plus!

a neat site for
introducing elementary school
students to making simple animated
video stories. On the Zimmer Twins
site students can create a story from
scratch or complete one of the "cliff
hanger" story starters.
Students do not need to have any
drawing skills in order to create a
story as all elements are added to
the video through a simple drag
and drop interface. Students select
settings, characters, character
actions, emotions, and text styles
then drag those elements into the
storyboard. Students then arrange
those elements and type words into
the conversation bubbles where
appropriate.
