Hello! I'm back after my year-long hiatus, refreshed, engaged, calm and ready to roll.
I've just been checking through the first Year 9 unit called "Third Rock From the Sun" and found that one of my favourite tools (Zaption) doesn't exist any more.
A quick Google search later and I've discovered a replacement with even more features and useful tools.
Meet EdPuzzle :) It's a tool to help you to help student engage with information on videos by including questions, notes or voice-overs throughout.
First you import any video from youtube.
You can trim the clip down.
You can set due dates.
You can add questions throughout the video, as well as voice-overs and notes.
You can block and prevent 'skipping' through the video or skipping questions.
When presented with a question, students can submit their answers or choose to 'rewatch' the segment it relates to.
You can share it to your class when you're done, or embed it with an iframe.
You can see how many/which students have engaged with your activity and what they've scored (I am guessing the score only applies to multi-choice questions, though you can read their answers on open-ended ones).
You can see how individual questions were answered.
And if you are interested in seeing the one that I made as a model, you can click here to engage with it (and maybe learn a few things about the Layers of the Earth as well!)
