EDpuzzle
Turn any video into an Engaging Lesson!!
What is EDpuzzle?
If you use videos in the classroom, EDpuzzle is a must have!
Create your own lessons by recording Zoom and upload to EdPuzzle, or take any video from YouTube, Khan Academy, Learn Zillion, etc. and make it perfect for your classroom and more engaging for your students.
Make any video a true lesson by making it to the point, personal and effective, plus get all the data about your students so you know if they truly understand the lesson.
Ideas for use in the classroom
Elementary Teachers
- Guided reading center.
- Check for comprehension. Embed questions to check for understanding. Students can independently go through the guided reading activity, while you work one-on-one with other reading groups. Rotate the reading groups throughout the week so that each student gets the opportunity to go through the EDpuzzle guided reading activity, and each group gets one-on-one time with you.
- Science center (with a video pertaining to an experiment or new learning),
- Math center, etc. using center rotations ensures that you have time to work closely with each group.
Secondary Teachers
- Check for understanding.
- Students to create and demonstrate understanding.
- Ideal for sub days. It's hard being away from the classroom because it can essentially be a lost day. Even if the substitute did EXACTLY what you ask, you miss the opportunity to see your students work and think.
- Gives you the ability to “teach” remotely and embed the same questions and promptings you would give if you were "live" in the classroom. While you won’t get to hear all of the discussion, you will have some feedback to better understand how your students were thinking.
