Some benefits of using Edpuzzle that they are enjoying:
- super easy to use
- import roster from Google Classroom and they log in with school email
- use videos from YouTube, Khan Academy, etc, or ones you make yourself
- can edit a video, shorten for length
- embed questions to check for understanding
- embed a note to tell students to "write that down"
- embed a note to focus students on what's important
- can assign to students to identify if they actually watched the video.
