Can anyone recommend any online video editing options to use with students? (I currently use Wevideo and have for years, but I pay for it and am looking for a free option!) @themerrillsedu@lesliefisher@JakeMillerTech

That’s the best online one that I’m aware of. @screencasto also has some editing in their paid version; @Screencastify allows some basic cutting & trimming edits; @Flipgrid can do cutting, trimming, and combining of clips.
Recommendations for Video editing software (easy & cheap) to edit, cut, splice, voice/ sound over videos. I need better than a free phone app, but I’m also not looking to make Hollywood level movie productions either.

Google is now elbowing with YouTube Capture (free) , Splice (free), iMovie (paid), Adobe Premiere Clip (free) – Android,iOS and several others for the basic video editing turf on mobile devices. Its big pitch – being directly connected to Google Drive.
The YouTube Editor is not the most powerful editor you will ever use. However, it is free, and it includes all the basic editing tools you need to make a professional looking video. It is also an online tool, so you can use it anywhere you have an internet connection, and on any computer that you have access to.
My note: The author forgets to mention that the editor exists now also as an app for mobile devices, thus competing with other “free” mobile apps for video editing such as Splice, iMovie etc.
It can be a great addition to “spice up” videos posted on Instagram, Tweeter and other social media, besides YouTube.
I just got a request from a student from School of Education SOE). She has an issue, which pops up rather frequently with pre-service teachers from SOE. When she videotapes in the classroom, she is supposed to obtain permission for the video recording. In her case, one of the student wanted to be blurred out.
Here is a short YouTube video, which guides you through the iMovie process. The same is for Final Cut Pro:
