Week 5 - Technology

This week I found a great website titled, EDpuzzle. With EDpuzzle you can discover how to increase students' engagement and accountability with videos. On EDpuzzle you start by trimming a video you want your students to watch, because students usually show more engagement with videos shorter than 7 minutes. At any point in the video, you can insert a question and make your students think and actively participate during the video lesson. You can also take a close look into what your students are doing, check their understanding and identify where they may be struggling. On one screen you can see who has watched the whole video and who answered the questions correctly or incorrectly.

I find that this technology integration piece would work perfectly with a flipped classroom model. That way you can see who watched the videos before class, and know that your students already know the information you are getting ready to cover in the next class. I will definitely be using this in my future classroom!
