Vids can help deepen learning opportunities, up-level instruction, and inspire the next generation of storytellers in a variety of scenarios, for example:
- Educators can support diverse learning styles and help students retain information with instructional videos and deep dives on complex concepts.
- Students can work on video projects and review recorded lessons.
- Education leaders can easily incorporate video in their school newsletters and create internal training videos for staff. Vids is also integrated with Google Workspace for Education tools like Google Assignments, empowering educators to easily assign video projects or post video explainers right to their students.
