Remote Learning: Deliver Instruction with Edpuzzle


Kids consume lots of video on platforms like YouTube and TikTok. In fact, they are most likely familiar with a new type of celebrity, "Influencers." Although it is hard to compete with PewDiePie, a YouTube star with 103 million subscribers and 24 billion views, teachers, too, can leverage video to gain their students' attention. One of my favorite platforms for sharing instructional video with students and assessing their understanding is Edpuzzle.

With Edpuzzle, you can make any video your lesson in three easy steps:
  1. Find a video on YouTube and other platforms, upload your own (i.e Screencastify), or re-use a video lesson created by another teacher.
  2. Then, edit the video to create your lesson. Record your voice to personalize it, and hold your students accountable by embedding questions in the video.
  3. Assign the video to your students using Google Classroom and check their progress in real time while they learn at their own pace.
