TLP-C Curating Digital Content to Boost Student Engagement Recording

Carmen wisely launched her session by asking us to be students. See her same video lesson by clicking here. Carmen highlighted the powerful tools of EdPuzzle: the ability to insert questions, narration and audio notes and to go back and view student responses. Carmen then walked us through the steps of how to set up an account and create a video lesson. She did a great job explaining which features she uses with her class and how they have impacted the English Language Learners that she teaches. Please remember that to use EdPuzzle with students under 18, you need to collect parent permission. See your building TIS to a form letter to use for this purpose.

Consider joining us live for our next session! Thursday, Feburary 9th from 4-5pm EST Tyler Eckhoff will share how he has used WeVideo to make student learning visible. Log on a few minutes before 4pm on the 9th using this link.

  1. EdPuzzle is a great tool to create engaging lessons. I think it is very easy to use and it allows for differentiation for all learners. What I like the most is the accountability piece, since students have to be active listeners while watching videos. I think EdPuzzle is great to prepare students for some of the listening activities of the WIDA ACCESS test. Thank you Carmen for sharing this great resource.

  2. EdPuzzle is a useful tool to incorporate in my science and social studies lessons. Being able to tailor the videos to ask questions at various point keeps young students engaged. By inserting “turn and talk” questions students must actively listen and participate during the video presentation. This feature is better than traditionally waiting until the conclusion of a video. I also like the audio notes feature, which can help set a purpose for listening.

  3. Whenever students have a chance to create something that connects to the learning that they’ve had, it is a good thing. EdPuzzle does just that and the sky is the limit for a student’s imagination of asking questions about topics as well as telling all that they know. I created an EdPuzzle just to test it out and it was a lot of fun to do and to see my finished product.
