Last week’s Tuesday Tech Tidbit (#TTTidbit) was a Face to Face session on how to use EDpuzzle to meet the needs of learners. Edpuzzle is one of my favorite teaching tools that allows teachers to keep students ENGAGED while watching videos by adding questions, notes, and more to their own videos, as well as videos created by others.  Additionally, you can browse a bank of teacher created EDpuzzles that you can use and or modify to meet the needs of your class.

But wait!  There’s more!  Once your video/lesson is created, you can track your student’s progress.  Not only can you track which students have watched lessons, but you also have access to haw well each students performed on each question as well as a class.  This is awesome for individualized instruction and also to help you drive your own instruction based on whole class performance on questions.

There are even more awesome features to EDpuzzle, but the one we like best at our school is their customer service.  If you have a question or need assistance, the EDpuzzle team gets back to you right away.  For example, we teach Hawaiian Language at our school and EDpuzzle didn’t support Hawaiian, that is until one of our teachers sent them an email and within a couple hours, Hawaiian was added to their languages.  Seriously.  How awesome is that?  The team is constantly trying to make improvements to their tool and meet the needs of their users.

Oh, and did I mention it’s FREE?

Here’s an example of an EDpuzzle:
