I am currently enrolled in an online course called ‘Web Tools for Global Learning’. From this course, I have learned a lot about utilizing technology as an educator and in the classroom. In this blog post, I will be reflecting on my experiences with EdPuzzle.

What is EDPuzzle?

EdPuzzle is a website that allows teachers to post videos, either one they make themselves or from sites such as youtube. Students can watch the video and answer questions during it. Students are able to pause the video and go back if needed. EdPuzzle was founded in 2013 and has more than 20 million students signed up.

Using EDPuzzle to Flip a Classroom

EdPuzzle creates a “flipped” classroom. This allows the teacher to assign students these videos to watch at home. Here is an article I found about using EdPuzzle in the classroom for different subjects.

My Thoughts

I found that as a student, EdPuzzle was easy to use. You just watch a video and answer the questions and the educator can track your progress. I find EdPuzzle super helpful because I sometimes need to rewind a lesson and you cannot do that in a classroom but you can do that on a video. I find EDPuzzle to be helpful to me as a student and hope to one day use it in my future classroom.
