\"EDpuzzle-<\/a><\/p>\n

What it is:\u00a0<\/strong> EDpuzzle<\/a> is a neat new educational site to help you better utilize video in your classroom for learning.\u00a0 You can find and crop video to use only what you need, add audio notes within the video or do some voice over work for a video, and you can embed questions throughout the video to track student understanding. EDpuzzle<\/a> collects data as students watch and interact with the video.\u00a0 You can see if and when a student watched the video, and see the progress of all students through the answers to embedded questions.<\/p>\n

How to use EDpuzzle<\/a> in your classroom:<\/strong> What makes EDpuzzle<\/a> great is the level of freedom given in cropping, sharing, and tracking video use in the classroom. EDpuzzle<\/a> enhances the “flipped” classroom by allowing you to embed formative assessment directly into your videos. As students watch, you can check understanding and ensure active watching vs. passive watching. In a flipped scenario, this gives you the ability to completely tailor a lesson the next day based on the formative assessment results you get from homework. This is truly utilizing assessment to inform instruction (which is the point of assessment!).<\/p>\n

EDpuzzle<\/a> can be used in conjunction with videos that you have made for your students, or with videos that you find.\u00a0 I like using video to introduce students to a brand new topic or idea.\u00a0 Well-created video has the ability to quickly and succinctly help students dive into new learning and formulate new questions and lines of inquiry.\u00a0 For example, when Anastasis<\/a> Jr. High started our last inquiry block about “How the World Works” and explored the topic of food and farming, they started by watching the documentary Food, Inc.\u00a0 This was a great way to launch their thinking and lines of questioning about where our food comes from.\u00a0 Out of that video, students chose different lines of inquiry to explore and research.\u00a0 EDpuzzle<\/a> would be a good way for students to help others see where their line of inquiry started from.\u00a0 Students could grab the clip of the documentary that intrigued them, and embed audio to show their thought process as they watched.\u00a0 Sort of a Saved-by-the-Bell Zack Morris “Time out”<\/a> moment where they can describe their line of thinking.<\/p>\n

For primary teachers, EDpuzzle<\/a> could be used as part of a guided reading center.\u00a0 YouTube has lots of great read-along videos. (You can also create your own based on class reading!) Use these videos along with EDpuzzle<\/a> to check for comprehension.\u00a0 As the video plays, embed questions to check for understanding.\u00a0 Students can independently go through the guided reading (or Close reading) activity, while you work one-on-one with other reading groups.\u00a0 Rotate the reading groups throughout the week so that each student gets the opportunity to go through the EDpuzzle<\/a> guided reading activity, and each group gets one-on-one time with you.\u00a0 This is a fantastic way to maximize your time and get valuable feedback from all student learning.\u00a0 EDpuzzle<\/a> could also be used in this way as a science center (with a video pertaining to an experiment or new learning), a math center, etc. I love using center rotations because it ensures that I have time to work closely with each group.<\/p>\n

For secondary students, use EDpuzzle<\/a> is a great way to check for understanding.\u00a0 It is also a wonderful way for students to create and demonstrate understanding.\u00a0 EDpuzzle<\/a> would be ideal for sub days.\u00a0 I always dreaded being away from the classroom because it was essentially a lost day.\u00a0 Even if the substitute did EXACTLY what I asked, I missed the opportunity to see my students work and think.\u00a0 EDpuzzle<\/a> would give you the ability to “teach” remotely and embed the same questions and promptings you would give if you were live in the classroom.\u00a0 While you won’t get to hear all of the discussion, you will have some feedback to better understand how your students were thinking.<\/p>\n

With documentary-type videos, EDpuzzle<\/a> can be used to embed writing prompts.\u00a0 Record a prompt throughout the video so that students can pause and write out their reflections and thoughts.\u00a0 I find that good documentaries are often SO packed full of good things that by the end of the video, only the last 10 minutes get well-reflected on. The documentary Baraka<\/a> would be an incredible video to do this with!<\/p>\n

Have you seen Vi Hart’s YouTube channel<\/a>?\u00a0 I am obsessed! I love the way that she goes through math in a casual stream-of-conscious type approach.\u00a0 Embed related practice math problems based on the topics that Vi is sharing in her videos.\u00a0 As students get those light-bulb moments of, “oh, that is how that works!” capitalize on the new understanding by giving them a place to put it into practice and try it out.<\/p>\n

Do you record your students learning? EDpuzzle<\/a> could be a fantastic way to record audio feedback to the videos that they upload.\u00a0 These can then be shared with parents and students for review.<\/p>\n

Tips:<\/strong> Don’t have access to YouTube at school?\u00a0 No worries! You can still use EDpuzzle with your students. EDpuzzle lets you search for video by topic, or pull video from Khan Academy, Learn Zillion, National Geographic, TED, Veritasium, and Numberphile as well.\u00a0 LOTS of incredible learning just waiting to happen!<\/p>\n
