Video is a wonderful medium to use when presenting new material to students. It contains both visual and audio stimulation to students. But all too often watching a video is a passive event. EDpuzzle makes the experience interactive an more engaging. EDpuzzle is a terrific tool that allows teachers to add text or audio questions to educational videos so that you can check for understanding. On EDpuzzle you can search for educational videos and/or upload your own. Then by adding questions, you can make the videos interactive. Edpuzzle is also integrated with Google Classroom so that you can efficiently assign your EDpuzzle lessons through Google Classroom.
EDpuzzle also offers a Chrome extension. EDpuzzle's Chrome extension enables you to save YouTube videos directly to your EDpuzzle account. This means that instead of having to search within EDpuzzle for videos you can simply browse YouTube like you normally do then just click the EDpuzzle extension to save the video. Once a video is saved you build your questions around it.
Below is an example of an EdPuzzle video that I made.
