Whether in the same room or miles apart here is a quick and easy way to use YouTube Editor with colleagues to create a quick and easy collaborative video project. Recently 4 friends and I created a quick Happy Birthday Video for our friend Elizabeth from 4 different locations.
This can be a convenient workflow to use with students. Your students are sharing quick pics and quick videos with each other using their mobile devices. Why not have them share their learning with you using the same devices.

Since it not an easy email address to communicate, I find that sending all my students the address via email, makes it easy for them to add to their contact list. (You can always reset the 'confidential' email address if you find some students were not as 'ready' as you expected.)
Step 4: Ask all participants to use their devices to complete a short video in response to your PROMPT. (SHORT is key email systems will not allow you to email long videos. I would start with 15 seconds or less and test longer videos if necessary.
