Add Eddpuzzle to the AMAZING list of premium tech resources that you have access to using in your classroom! The concept behind Edpuzzle is pretty simple and that's what makes it so good. It takes pre-made videos (or your own) and requires students to pause & respond to basic assessments and review talking points. Teachers control the speed in which students watch and whether they are able to skip questions. The mini assessments are open-ended, true false & multiple choice questions. In fact, teachers can go so far as to embed formulas, images, links & PDFs into questions and notes. These data-driven assignments are easily integrated into Google Classroom and Canvas. (More details below!) Teachers also have full access to Discover Edpuzzle Originals which are Edpuzzles already aligned to standards for them.
Some of the more recent Edpuzzle developments are:
- viewing it live in class
- comparing the teacher's "ideal answer" to the student answer & suggest a grade *
- suggesting questions for you *
- grouping lessons into playlists for units
- allowing teachers to record audio for their questions
- having the opportunity to have closed captions for all videos uploaded to Edpuzzle and
- updating the Edpuzzle app.
