Utilize Google Vids Effectively: 7 Practical Strategies Revealed
Google Vids, an AI-powered video creation tool within Google Workspace, is revolutionizing education. This innovative platform, reminiscent of Google Slides, offers a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for educators and students to adapt.
With Google Vids, finished videos can be viewed on any device, making them accessible to all. This feature is particularly useful for repurposing existing content, such as blog posts or articles, into engaging video lessons or student assignments.
One of the standout features of Google Vids is the Veo 3 AI model, which allows educators to create short, dynamic videos with sound effects and animated clips. These quick videos can help illustrate concepts or provide mini-lessons, enhancing the learning experience for students.
Moreover, Google Vids supports the automatic conversion of Google Slides into videos, complete with animations, AI narrators, and additional generated video clips. This feature not only saves time but also transforms static presentations into professional-quality videos.
Best practices for creating videos with Google Vids for education include leveraging AI features, converting Google Slides to videos, adding AI narrators and animations, keeping videos concise, using videos as supplements, encouraging student video creation, ensuring accessibility, and more.
Google Vids is generally available on all Business and Enterprise Workspace plans, making it a valuable resource for organizations. However, some advanced features like Veo 3 require a paid Google Workspace with a Gemini add-on.
Google Vids offers a self-paced course, Google Cloud Skills Boost, for learning the ins and outs of the platform. Additionally, educators can find detailed articles and how-tos for specific tasks or troubleshooting in the Google Help Center for Vids.
Beyond the classroom, Google Vids can facilitate blended and flipped learning by creating explainer videos for key concepts. It can also be used to promote workshops and professional learning opportunities, showcase portfolios or capstone projects in video format, and communicate with families through video updates.
