CapCut is one of the applications popularized as a mobile video editing suite, packing powerful capabilities and impressive mobility of its interface into your pocket. Made by TikTok’s parent company ByteDance, it’s been specifically designed to create short and shareble media.
Students and educators alike can access this free resource to share and create project-based information. With a huge variety of easy-to-use templates, it offers a simple learning curve to start mastering the basics of video editing, storytelling, and collaborative communication. As short-format video content continues to dominate social media algorithms, CapCut provides a sophisticated interface in an accessible format.
Its digital media skills development, project-based learning opportunities, enhancement of visual communication abilities, promotion of collaboration, and potenial for creativity make it a valuable educational tool for modern classrooms (until TikTok gets banned). Have you tried it?
I definitely find video editing such an essential skill for future communications. The argument of ‘a picture is worth 1000 words’ holds a lot of importance to me in the reason why students are so keen on communicating their understanding through video format.
The accessibility of this format of communicating is still problematic. Even students in my class in a relatively well-off International School in Shanghai would struggle to keep up with the subscription fees that exist in using these programs, that constantly places paywalls that inhibit use and monotize their programs in an unsustainable manner that impedes the educational functionality of these programs.
