Dear New PlayPosit Super Star Users,
For both financial and functional reasons, we are discontinuing our subscription with EdPuzzle for the 23-24 school year, and will be transitioning to a product called PlayPosit. PlayPosit is an interactive web-based video platform that allows educators to conduct formative assessments both inside and outside the classroom. Teachers are able to embed questions and prompts into videos from Youtube, Vimeo, Khan Academy, and other popular video platforms. Data can then be analyzed - providing powerful insight into educational trends in the classroom.
PlayPosit accomplishes the same goals of EdPuzzle with even more features. In addition, our primary video creation and editing tool - WeVideo - has merged with PlayPosit, allowing more possibilities for students to engage with and create video content within one product platform. PlayPosit utilizes the SAMR model of instruction:
Substitution: Students use Playposit to submit their answers online rather than on paper.
Augmentation: Students take notes on additional visual cues in order to provide a more comprehensive assessment for technical execution.
Modification: Students upload their own videos for annotation by the educator.
Redefinition: Students create their own Playposit videos and quizzes to quiz each other on important information found in their own videos.
We want to make this transition as seamless as possible for you, and are ready to provide any support you need to learn and use PlayPosit. Please take some time to review the resources linked below. More Quick Guides will be added PD for new Advanced features.
