EdPuzzle is a great tech tool to use when you want your students to watch videos independently, either at home or during class. You can upload your own videos or select videos from sites like YouTube, KhanAcademy, TedEd. Most importantly, you can embed multiple choice or short answer questions during the video. This allows you to quickly and easily assess your students’ understanding of the material in the video.
It’s great for flipped classrooms, because you can see when students watched the videos and how many times they watched each part of the video, giving you insight into their study skills. You can also get a “pulse” on the students’ understanding before class and adjust your in-class lesson plans accordingly.
Some fun features include being able to re-dub your own audio track over someone else’s video and to crop videos to cut out unimportant parts. Once you create a class for each class period, you can set due dates and quickly grade students’ quizzes.
To Get Started:
- Go to EdPuzzle.com
- Create a teacher account, complete the tour, and link to your Elmhurst205 Google account
- Go to “My Classes” to add a class for each class period. (Students will use the class code to sign up)
- Create an assignment from the “Search” or “My Content” pages
If you’d like help getting your EdPuzzle account set up, contact an ITC to schedule an appointment.
