'Tis Always the Season for Edpuzzle


EDpuzzle
         Contrary to the name, EDpuzzle isn't actually a site for puzzles, but EDpuzzle is a wonderful way for teachers to introduce new topics to their students. Through the Ed Puzzle site teachers choose videos that support their content and are able to edit those videos to fit their students and classroom needs. Teachers can choose when to pause the video clip and insert questions into the video clip, this helps to reinforce student's comprehension on new or difficult topics. It is a fun and engaging way to introduce new topics and ask questions that involve higher order thinking.

  • EDpuzzle is a free site! Hurray!!
  • EDpuzzle site does not allow feedback from students, it is more of an answer aloud tool for the classroom.

Assignment: We will be studying weather and  seasons in class and will begin with an overview of the four seasons. The students will watch  The Four Seasons EDpuzzle video, answering the questions, and then will pick a season they would like to learn more about. They will work with others that have chosen the same season and 3 share facts with the class about their chosen season. Have fun!

Watch Mrs. Hansen's The 4 Seasons Edpuzzle
