EDpuzzle is a web-based interactive video and formative assessment tool that gives teachers a set of tools to crop an existing online video to the moments needed for a specific teaching purpose. Teachers can also customize the cropped video with voice-overs, audio comments, and embedded assessment questions. Teachers can prohibit students from fast-forwarding through videos and assign each video a due date. Data from the embedded quizzes is saved in EDpuzzle’s dashboard; however, it can easily be exported as a CSV file and incorporated into other grade- and course-management systems.

​

1) Think about your next lesson. Is there anything you would like your students to know in advance? Or maybe a concept you explained in a previous lesson?

2) Search on Edpuzzle or YouTube. Once you have a sense of what topic you want to cover, search for it on Edpuzzle. Don't worry if it's not perfect, you can edit it to make it so! 

3) Edit the video with Edpuzzle. Now let's make the almost perfect video, just perfect. Trim and take only the part that you need, record your voice to make it more personal or embed questions to hold your students accountable for the video.

4) Create a class. A class is a place where you can assign videos and any student in that class will receive them. Eventually, when a student completes a task, you will receive really useful information from each one of them.

5) Assign the video-lesson to your class and give the class code to your students. They will create a student account (email is optional) and they will introduce the class code to join your class.

6) Check the progress report. Before the class starts, you can check each student progress on that assignment. Who watched the video, who didn't understand the lesson, and who did a good job.

 

 

Flip your Classroom

​

Flipping the classroom is a great way to use the time with your students more efficiently. 

Edpuzzle is a fantastic tool to make sure the flipped classroom works. You can save time customizing videos and you will hold your students accountable if they watch the videos at home.

Here is a quick video that explains the basics of the flipped classroom, and there are penguins, which is awesome: Click here to watch the video at Youtube
