EdPuzzle
EdPuzzle is a video teaching program that enables teachers to search video-lessons from several sites such as YouTube, Khan Academy, and National Geographic and turn them into their own lessons or to use video lessons already created by other teachers. Video lessons can be edited to include teacher specific questions, voiceover, audio notes, and quizzes. Students can re-watch the video as many times as necessary before being allowed to move on to the next question. Students are able to work at their own pace and teachers can monitor their progress and completion. EdPuzzle offers the flexibility of working independently or in conjunction with Schoology.
