Increase student engagement in watching videos 

Edpuzzle gives teachers a great set of tools to customize videos for their classes including the ability to crop videos, create voice-overs, and (my favorite) create questions for students to answer as they watch the video. Edpuzzle allows teachers to import their own videos or use videos from sources such as Ted Talks and YouTube.  Using Edpuzzle ensures that all students respond to formative questions (open-ended or multiple choice), not just the few students that might participate in class discussion, so it increases accountability and engagement.

Teachers can see data from the formative questions and video completion for the whole class and also broken down for each student. This data can then be used to guide further instruction. Some teachers use Edpuzzle in the flipped classroom model where students watch an interactive content lesson in Edpuzzle outside of class, and then use class time to engage in activities that apply what was learned. Below is a video I created about Edpuzzle.

We in the library would love to help you get set up with Edpuzzle or give you more information!
