Video Lessons using EDpuzzle

Students learn differently. Many different students require many different things from one teacher in one classroom. Flipping your classroom (that is, "teaching" at home via video lessons and doing "homework" during class time by answering questions and giving guided practice) can allow the teacher to explain one-on-one to those that require individual attention, while freeing up fast learners to practice on their own. EDpuzzle provides a way for you to make any video your lesson. Whether you plan to entirely flip the learning in your classroom, or you prefer to supplement what you are doing in class with additional learning at home, EDpuzzle can be the perfect tool for the job!

1. Go to EDpuzzle and create an account. You may log in with Twitter or Edmodo, or create a new account using an email address.
   
2. Set up a "class" for each class/topic you will be assigning videos (Ex: Spanish I, Biology, Drawing, Literature)
3. Distribute/post the "class code" assigned to your class. This is how students will access the videos you assign to their class.
4. Find a video or create your own.
5. Use EDpuzzle's tools to crop the length of the video, add your voice to all or part of the video, and create a variety of questions to check for understanding.
6. When you "finish" a video, select which classes you want to assign it to and what the "due date" will be.

1. Instruct them to go to EDpuzzle and create a student account. They do not need an email address to do this.
2. They will "join" your class by typing in the "class code" you provide them.
3. The video(s) you have assigned will appear on their screen. They can view the video as many times as they want, but they must answer every question in order to progress.
4. Once they submit their assignment they can no longer edit their answers.

1. Click on the "My Classes" tab.
2. On the left side, select the class you wish to evaluate.
3. Then, click the blue button labeled "Progress" next to the video you wish to evaluate for that class.
4. At the top of your results page, notice the class average for each question.
5. Then, scroll down to see your students and what they have accomplished.
6. You will see, in order: Student's name, a check mark or an X to show if they have viewed the entire video or not, a percentage of questions they answered correctly, a note to show if they submitted it "Late" or "On Time", and a "Reset" button to allow you to completely erase their submission and let them start over.
7. Each line is also color coded (notice the "key" for the color coding is at the very top of the page).
8. Now, click on a particular student to view more details about their assignment.
9. Towards the top right of the page, notice the quick statistics: percentage viewed, percentage of quiz attempted, and how many questions answered correctly out of the total available.
10. The top left chart will show you how many times the student watched a segment of the video. Note the color coding key available.
11. As you scroll down through the questions, you are able to view how they answered and what the correct answer should have been.
12. If there are any open ended questions, you are able to grade them here. You can also leave comments on the open ended questions if further explanation is needed.
13. You can easily switch between students with the tabs in the upper right corner.
14. In the upper left corner is the button to take you back to your results page.
15. The last two buttons are near the right center part of the page: Export & Grade.
16. The "Export" button allows you to compile all the results you see on this page in a single Excel spreadsheet for later viewing or archiving.
17. The "Grade" button allows you to easily grade all open ended questions from your class in one place.
18. For any further questions, push the "i" button for reminders, or contact EDpuzzle.
