Ed Puzzle

 

 Ed Puzzle is an educational website that I have chosen due to my own experience with it when I worked at a school.

 

 

What it is: 

 Ed Puzzle is an online website where educators can take YouTube videos and add questions throughout them for students to answer. It is a great tool to keep students engaged throughout the video content they are watching and to ensure understanding.

 

What is Ed Puzzle

Usage and what it's able to do: 

• Ed Puzzle is very easy to use. As a teacher, all you have to do is create an account and enter what school you teach at. Once teachers are in, they can edit videos and embed questions. There is also a variety of selections in the teacher library for videos with questions already embedded in them that educators can share and use. 
• Students also just have to create an account and then enter their teacher's class code to get started on their assignments. Once they enter their class code, they are able to watch videos and answer questions that pop up throughout. It is very engaging and is a great way to check for student comprehension. 
• This technology is very portable since it is a website and all you need is to have an account to log into with them, which you can use your google or Microsoft account. 

Connection to TLC and SAMR:

 

 

 Ed Puzzle connects to the TLC framework because this technology can be used to teach, learn and communicate. YouTube videos with questions can be created on this website for teachers to teach students content and for students to learn what content is being presented to them. This website also provides a way for teachers to communicate with other teachers by sharing with them videos and questions that they have embedded into the videos. Ed Puzzle connects to SAMR because it falls under the A which is augmentation. This technology enhances the task of checking for understanding. Instead of having students fill out a paper sheet with questions about the video, they fill out questions as they are watching the video.
