As a high school student, I doubt I would have found EDpuzzle very exciting. But as a high school teacher, I think EDpuzzle has a lot of promise!

If I'm being perfectly honest, it seems like a lot of teachers have a hard time knowing how to effectively use videos in their classrooms. This was true before the pandemic, and it's probably all the more true with distance learning. Videos take a lot of the educational limitations of lectures and make them worse. Maybe the most obvious of these is the lack of interactivity. We're trying to move away from the banking model of education here. Ideally, we want education to be something that students do, not simply something that is done to them. I'm not saying EDpuzzle substantially addresses this issue, but it does let the teacher add an element of interactivity.

EDpuzzle isn't a one-size-fits-all kind of solution. It can be used poorly and end up costing more work without adding any educational value. If you're thoughtful about it, though, I'd wager it will do a hell of a lot better than a worksheet.

My Recommendation
If you're in the business of asking students to watch specific videos for specific reasons, I'm betting you've noticed some issues. Maybe you're having trouble getting students to engage with content, or your students can't seem to retain a lot of what you're dumping on them.

Whatever the case, if you reeeeeally need to have your students watch videos, I'd highly recommend giving EDpuzzle a try. If you're on the fence, consider putting yourself in a student's shoes for a minute. Head back up to the slideshow embedded on this page and watch the video linked in the presentation. It shouldn't take long to see how much EDpuzzle adds to the viewer's experience.

TL;DR
Try to limit your use of videos. When they can't be avoided, use something like EDpuzzle.
