Learning about Edpuzzle was a major step forward in my flipped learning journey. The ability to embed notes, comprehension questions, and interactive polls directly into a video transforms passive watching into an active learning experience.
Key Takeaway: It allows me to check for understanding before students step into the classroom, ensuring they come prepared and allowing us to use precious class time for deeper discussion and application.
I took a hands-on approach to content creation by designing my own video using Canva. I managed to produce a 2-minute video utilising an AI avatar with a custom voiceover.
The Reality Check: While the initial result looks a bit strange and unnatural right now, the process itself was invaluable. It showed me what is possible with modern design tools.
Mindset: Video production requires a learning curve. With deliberate practice, trial, and error, I am confident that my editing and scripting skills will refine over time.
Flipped learning isn't just about using technology for the sake of it—it's about creating meaningful, student-centred touchpoints outside the classroom.
Next Steps: I plan to keep experimenting with different video styles, pacing, and interactive elements to make the content feel more natural and engaging.
Sharing the Vision: Ultimately, my goal is to share these tools and strategies with my colleagues back at school. By practising and refining this approach together, we can build a supportive community of practice and enhance the learning experience for all our students.
