Step 5: Utilizing Video
Students will save the movie file in an ideal format to the specified location. Consider using interactive websites to host them in order to give students feedback---both from the teacher and from peers.
1. Students will save and export the movie.
In many video editing programs, you have the option to save "as a project" or "as a movie." Some programs will say "export movie." Be careful not to have students save their creation as a project as this will only link to images/audio without actually having them saved in. Saving as a project is useful if students are coming back to do more edits and still will have images and audio in the same location, since it links to them. Be aware that if students do save as a project and then remove or change the location of the audio/images from the desktop, it will say that the items are “missing.”
2. Students will place the movie in a designated location that you have determined. Consider using the movie files with interactive websites so that all students can watch the video creations and provide feedback.

- We LOVE EDPuzzle---it allows for the embedding of questions within videos. It can provide instant feedback to students and can also grade the responses and record how much of a video was actually watched.
- Consider placing videos in a LMS (such as Blackboard, Google Classroom, Edmodo, etc) or a shared folder where students can provide feedback on their classmates’ videos. Students can provide peer feedback by mentioning two points of strength and an area to improve. Remember, it's always so much more powerful when student creations are shared beyond the teacher.
