Turning your videos into gradable quizzes with EdPuzzle

(Yet) Another free application for teachers- hooray! Sign up here. 

I was recently introduced to this handy tool at the Central MN Tech Meeting at the Sartell district offices last week. Teachers at area districts use this quizzing site to create multiple choice quizzes built in to classroom videos, lecture videos (flipping classroom), or chapter reviews for upcoming tests. Results are student-specific (if you'd like) and data is captured on your teacher dashboard. Note: EdPuzzle includes searchable videos from YouTube, Khan, National Geographic, TeacherTube, TED and more. 

Students can join your classroom by going to edpuzzle.com and signing up as a new student (can login with Google) and then entering in the classroom code located in the upper right area of your 'My Classroom' dashboard. 

You can create test questions by type and multiple choice, or insert your voice to coach students at different points during the video. 

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I've created a quick Pilgrim quiz using a pre-loaded video and added my own questions. This is for elementary only:)
