Week 3 Edpuzzle and Diffit

 Edpuzzle is away of using videos sectioned off into bite sized pieces and insert prompts to keep students focussed on the video and get feedback from students about their understanding. It is similar to NearPod. It is probably best used in an asynchronous mode - great for students studying remotely or as part of a flipped classroom lesson. You can insert you own videos or other videos such as from Youtube. This website claims to already have a large library of videos that have been customised by fellow teachers. 

This is a video about ocean currents made by Edpuzzle: 

Here is the editing interface:

You can chose where the video stops and select to add a 

• multiple choice question
• open-ended question
• a note for students. 

The answers students provide are available to the teacher in real time. 

To try an Edpuzzle as a student, log into Edpuzzle and then use this class code to get access to a video about Aboriginal farming in the years before Europeans came here: zaghozm
