Friday Matinee: Using EDpuzzle to Improve Video Engagement
Want to know who watched a video you posted as an assignment? EDpuzzle is an online program that allows you to create interactive video lessons by embedding questions and comments into videos from YouTube, Khan Academy, National Geographic, TED Talks, and more. When these videos are assigned through EDpuzzle, you can see how much time a student spent on the video and how well they did on the questions. It even gives you superpowers that prevent your students from skipping right to the questions!
The basic, free plan allows you to create 20 videos and share them with your class as an assignment. To learn more about how to use EDpuzzle, I'm including a playlist of 8 videos, but you can skip #7 on integrating EDpuzzle with Google Classroom. Want to know how much the students learned about a topic? Let THEM create an EDpuzzle as a student project.
Want more information on using it with Canvas? Go here and click on Using EDpuzzle With Canvas.
This app is being used by K-12 schools and universities for online learning. You can even add screencasts you create.

Check out ISTE's (International Society for Technology in Education) blog post showing 3 ways to make remote learning more engaging.

Friday Matinee: Some Advice for Newly Remote Instructors
I recently came across an article that is part of a guide entitled, "Sustaining Higher Education in the Coronavirus Crisis," and wanted to share it with all of you as you begin to get ready to teach online this summer or think about classes for this fall. The article not only has advice for new remote instructors, but includes a link to a Google Sheet created by Daniel Stanford, the director of the faculty development and technology innovation at DePaul University. This sheet includes a great number of resources curated from universities.

Friday Matinee: Should You be Using Technology?
Do you wonder if you should be using technology with your students when you teach? Recently, Matt Miller from Ditch That Textbook (remember him from The Summit last summer?) put out a blog post with 10 things to consider before adding technology to a lesson or assignment. As you read the post, keep in mind that it's not about the tech itself, but if the tech will improve your lesson and the learning outcomes.
