Blog Post #4-Exploring Web-based Tools


Edpuzzle


            Edpuzzle is a great interactive option for the flipped classroom, or for use in small group lessons. I found the product to be somewhat easy to use after I found a tutorial on YouTube. Edpuzzle could be used in any content area, math, language arts, industrial tech, foreign language, etc. To create an Edpuzzle, teachers search and add a video to their project using YouTube, Edpuzzle, Khan Academy, National geographic, TED Talks, Veritasium, Numberphile or Crash Course. At any point in the video, teachers can embed multiple choice or open-ended questions, voice overs as well as notes. Another feature to Edpuzzle is the capability to crop the video to shorten the length allowing teachers to focus on key parts of a longer video. Teachers can create an “open class” and share a link with students. Another option is to create classes using student names, add assign the quiz through the Edpuzzle website. Teachers can see student progress on the quizzes and the amount of time taken on the quiz. Teachers can also restrict the ability to skip forward through the video in order to answer the questions. Created videos are easily shared in a variety of learning platforms. A variance on teacher created projects and depending on skill level, students could also create their own Edpuzzles.
