Skip to main contentYouTube lets us demonstrate how Edzo works and share teaching ideas that benefit from visual explanation.
What we create
Edzo Learn channel (kids)
- Educational videos: engaging, age-appropriate content that teaches maths, science, English, and other subjects in a way kids actually enjoy
- Learning adventures: story-driven or challenge-based videos that make concepts stick
- Interactive prompts: videos that encourage kids to pause, think, and try things themselves
Edzo channel (teachers and parents)
- Product walkthroughs: showing teachers how to use Edzo features step by step
- Teaching ideas: short, practical videos demonstrating how to use Edzo resources in the classroom
- Feature announcements: visual introductions to new capabilities
- Tutorials: detailed guides for creating and remixing resources
- Community spotlights: showcasing creative ways teachers are using Edzo with their learners
Our audience
Our primary YouTube audience is kids watching educational videos. We create content that’s genuinely educational, entertaining, and worth a child’s time.
We run two channels:
- Edzo Learn (primary): Educational video content for children aged 5 to 12. This is where the bulk of our effort goes. Every video must be valuable on its own: would a kid want to watch it? Would a parent feel good about their child watching it? Would a teacher share it with their class?
- Edzo: Platform tutorials, feature introductions, and how-to guides showing educators and parents how to get the most out of Edzo.
Both channels follow the same principle: every video must earn the viewer’s time by being educational, entertaining, or inspiring. If it’s none of those, it’s not worth creating.
Production values
We aim for clear and helpful over polished and expensive. A well-lit screen recording with good audio and clear narration is more valuable than a high-budget production that takes weeks to create.
A few practical guidelines:
- Audio matters most: invest in a decent microphone. Viewers will tolerate average video quality, but poor audio drives people away.
- Keep intros short: get to the point within the first 10 seconds. Teachers are busy.
- Show real examples: use actual Edzo resources and Learning Spaces rather than abstract mockups.
- Include captions: always upload subtitles or enable auto-captions for accessibility.
Video structure
A good Edzo video typically follows this pattern:
- Hook (5-10 seconds): what you’ll learn or see
- Context (10-20 seconds): why this matters for teaching
- Walkthrough (the bulk): step-by-step demonstration
- Wrap-up (10-15 seconds): recap and next steps, with links in the description
Principles
- Every video should teach something useful
- Keep videos focused and concise; respect the viewer’s time
- Use real examples from the platform rather than abstract explanations
- Include links to relevant resources and help docs in descriptions
- Encourage viewers to try things themselves
