EDpuzzle is an incredible and free app to use in the classroom! The app allows you to combine videos, voice recordings, and quizzes for your students. The app is simple and easily accessible for students. EDpuzzle helps students develop twenty-first century skills, especially critical thinking and creativity. Not only do students exhibit these skills as they watch videos and participate in interactive quizzes, but they also have the opportunity to create their own puzzles. For example, teachers can assign each student a topic and have them create an EDpuzzle for their classmates to view and be tested on. This allows students to master a particular topic and share that knowledge with their class. Having the students work in groups would also help them develop other skills such as communication and collaboration. If I were going to use EDpuzzle in my classroom, I would use it in centers or as a project assignment. I believe that it would benefit the students more to use the app independently or in small groups so that the entire class would not be listening to the same video at once. Working individually or in groups also allows students to watch the video and answer the questions at their own pace. As I mentioned earlier, EDpuzzle would also be an excellent tool for mastery projects. Students are able to master skills and topics, share that knowledge with the class, and learn from their fellow classmates with one simple assignment!
