Edpuzzle

I love Edpuzzle and have presented on it at a couple of conferences.  This tool is great for getting students engaged in learning and can be used for every grade level.  For example, a high school science teacher was struggling with how to accommodate a lesson for his ELLs without losing rigor.  I helped him create a lesson an Edpuzzle which took the video he selected for all students to watch and added in stops for clarification, definition, and questions.  The students were able to listen, rewind, listen again... move at their own pace to complete the activity with understanding.

I have also used Edpuzzle in elementary school to help pace a lesson using a video.  With Edpuzzle I can plug in questions, define or clarify, and add think-alouds to selected spots as we watch the video together.  If a student was absent, they could easily watch the video on their own and have the same information that everyone else did when they return or while still at home.

Here is an example lesson I helped prepare that uses Edpuzzle (last page).
