I need a recommendation to let students edit presentation videos? They have Chromebooks, so I probably need a decent cloud-based video editor. Thoughts?

To clarify, I'm looking for software my students can use on Chromebooks to edit their own videos. I appreciate all the offers from real Editors, y'all keep hustlin'.

Two GCISD teachers, Lexi Rix and Joe Parthemore, were recently recognized by the peer-reviewed, national journal Science & Children for their new process of teaching engineering through biographies. Read the Dallas Morning News article here: bit.ly/3p0GDqO

If you're having a hard time keeping up with the news these days...there are several reasons. One reason the news cycle runs so fast is because of something akin to the OODA loop, a concept first described by an Air Force Colonel and military strategist in the early days of jets.

What a great way to leverage our technology to meet the needs of all of our students and differentiate their learning! Great job @GCISDBlends @Mr_Isbell and @GMSDiller!
Hear from @Mr_Isbell and @GMSDiller from @GrapevineMiddle on how they used a pre-assessment to determine where students started on their learning path. This lesson was #BrilliantlyBlended!

This is especially useful for those of us that were taught (period space space)
Find and replace two spaces with one space to fix the whole doc at once. https://nitter.cf/t.co/sMbEnlynqz #googleEDU

Telling Ss and Ps "If you can't figure out your remote assignments after 5 minutes, reach out" gives them permission to "bug you" instead of just giving up or struggling in silence
