Learning Activities

Math

After covering the topic “slope,” go to EdPuzzle and search for a video (e.g., how to find slope on a line) by using Khan Academy, which is a tool that contains tons of math videos. Embed your own voice and questions in the video, add it to your online class on EdPuzzle and share it with your students via online class on EdPuzzle. After that, ask your students to answer the questions in the video and track their answers and progress. Provide immediate feedback to scaffold student learning.

Science

In order to create awareness of climate change, each student finds a climate change-related video. They customize it by embedding their own voice and adding some questions in it. Then, students gather all the videos, synthesize them into one video in a meaningful way, and create a video gallery to present it in upcoming showcase in school.

Biology

By using National Geographic Channel on EdPuzzle, find a cheetah video and share it with your students. Give it as assignment for them and tell them to watch it before they come to school. Once they come to school, have them discuss the video in groups.

Social science

Students watch a video about the different types of government structures. They develop a list of questions about this topic and embed their questions directly into the video via EdPuzzle. They can share their EdPuzzle video with a teacher or expert (via social media) to solicit responses to their questions.
