every teacher needs this

Loved using it. Was very happy my school paid for a pro account so we had no limits on videos. It's so worth learning how to use it because it makes your job easier and the kids learn more.

PROS

It's so easy to crowdsource questions to go with videos. If you're a busy teacher, you can easily use a video template from another teacher, customize to your needs, and you're good to go. It's so easy to use and it really ups the viewing experience because you hold your students accountable to actually watch the video and learn from it. It's a no brainer.

CONS

There were some glitches when it came to integrating with Canvas, like students showing me they watched the whole thing and it not populating in my grade book.

Great Educational Tool

Overall, I highly recommend EdPuzzle. It is a great tool for student engagement and holds student attention well.

PROS

EdPuzzle is an engaging tool for students to use. Students love learning through videos, and EdPuzzle holds student attention because it allows you to insert questions throughout the video. I also love that it has the automatic pause when the tab is changed; this requires students to focus on the video rather than just let it play. I appreciate that it automatically grades multiple choice questions. You are able to trim videos and delete sections to really customize the assignment to meet the needs of your students.

CONS

The limit on video storage with the free version is disappointing. I would like if the software had the capability of an answer key for open ended questions.

Reasons for switching to Edpuzzle

Safeshare limited videos that I could create. I also prefer the questions being directly within the video instead of in a separate assignment.

Unique but needs more work

PROS

The idea of turning videos into interactive assessments is a game-changer. You can track student progress and comprehension in nearly real-time.

CONS

The interface is clunky and buggy. Editing videos is not a straightforward process and it can take a while for menus/pages to load.

My expirience of use Edpuzzle

Edpuzzle is often praised for its ability to transform passive video-watching into an interactive learning experience. I appreciate the platform's features that allow eme to embed questions, comments, and notes within videos, engaging students and promoting active learning.Tool offers educators the flexibility to create their own video content or utilize pre-existing videos from a wide range of sources. This allows me to curate resources that align with my specific curriculum or instructional goals, tailoring the content to meet the needs of their students.I can track students' responses to embedded questions, view analytics on student engagement, and provide targeted feedback. This data-driven approach helps me identify areas of improvement and personalize instruction.But also I have found less favorable aspects: limited video editing capabilities and limited question types (I have a desire for additional question types, such as matching or sequencing, to enhance the variety of assessment options available).

PROS

1. Interactive video features: Edpuzzle allows educators to make any video interactive by adding questions, comments, and notes at specific points in the video. I appreciate the ability to engage students actively and assess my understanding through embedded questions, ensuring that learning is active and dynamic.2. Customization options: Edpuzzle offers customization features that allow educators to personalize the learning experience. I can trim videos, add my own voiceovers, and create custom video lessons to align with specific learning objectives and student needs. This flexibility enables me to tailor content to my teaching style and address the unique requirements of my students.3. Assessment and feedback: Edpuzzle provides features for assessing student learning and providing feedback. I can view detailed analytics and data on student progress, including how many times a student watched a video, their responses to questions, and overall performance. This data helps inform instructional decisions and allows for targeted interventions and personalized feedback.

CONS

1. Limited video editing capabilities: While Edpuzzle offers basic video editing features, I have a desire for more advanced editing options. For example, I have mentioned a need for more precise trimming, advanced video effects, or the ability to merge multiple videos into one.2. Limited question types: Edpuzzle provides several question types, such as multiple-choice, open-ended, and true/false. However, I have a desire for additional question types, such as matching or sequencing, to enhance the variety of assessment options available.

Amazing tool for flipping classrooms

EdPuzzle has made a huge difference in my teaching practice. I love how easy it is to assign videos with questions to my students to pre-teach or check for readiness on a topic before coming to class. By clicking on a video I assigned to a class, I can quickly see who completed the video and how well students understood specific topics by looking at questions students got wrong. Though there is an extensive collection of pre-made EdPuzzles online for educators to use immediately, creating my own EdPuzzles has been an intuitive process. Though it takes time to create each EdPuzzle, the fact that I can share these EdPuzzles with my colleagues and reuse them from year to year makes it worth the effort. Furthermore, it is easy to duplicate and edit EdPuzzles so I can tweak and improve them. Overall, EdPuzzle is an incredible tool that has improved my teaching practice.

PROS

EdPuzzle is an easy-to-use website that has allowed me to flip large portions of the didactic part of my lessons for students to complete outside of the classroom so we can use class time to do activities or tackle more challenging concepts. EdPuzzle makes it easy to find pre-made videos with questions created by other educators, or find a YouTube video online and add your own questions throughout a video. I also upload my own videos that I have recorded and then add questions for students to answer. I like how there are different types of questions that I can add, and I can even add a note with a link with more information. Teachers can create classes in Edsby, so it is easy to track student completion (I use EdPuzzles as exit or entrance tickets). I also appreciate how easy it is to reset an EdPuzzle for students to reattempt and it is easy to share an EdPuzzle with colleagues for them to use. Most importantly, these videos can be reused yearly to save educators time!

CONS

I would love to see EdPuzzle be able to integrate with learning management systems so that the grades in EdPuzzle could automatically be updated in the LMS. It can be difficult to find the exact moment in the video to add a question - wish there was greater sensitivity in the timer placement. The phone app could also use improvement as students have reported it is quite buggy and videos are slow to load.
