Benefits to using edpuzzle
Using Edpuzzle in the classroom lets the students gather information from other sources outside of lectures and textbooks, experience them in an entertaining way, and allows the instructor to see how much the class is learning through the use of video. Students may pick up details they missed in class or review what they already know. Edpuzzle can be used to introduce new information for lessons or simply reinforce what students already know. Since it is accessible online, students and teachers can both use the website from just about anywhere making it not only a useful but convenient tool.
Edpuzzle Activities
Reviews/Bonus Points
Edpuzzle can be used for reviews or bonus point opportunities when the student has extra time by accessing it from a computer in the classroom, their own mobile devices, or in the school library.
Homework
By making your own content, you can provide the class with assignments tailored to the material covered in class that can be completed outside of school time. This can be used to monitor their progress in the class and assess how much they have learned.
