Monica, I also looked into Edpuzzle. I have used it for many subjects, but was thinking specifically about my mathematics instruction for this analysis. I also found that while it is great in many areas, it is lacking some when considering collaboration. In order to comabt this, you could allow the students to possibly use Edpuzzle to create their own video clips to share with other classmates. They can select the content, embed the questions, and then share with a peer to respond. They could work in pairs or groups.
I thought this was a solid evaluation. I have really only used EdPuzzle for sub plans when I am not in the classroom because it is so well at self-directing students. However, I like that you bring up the aspect of missing collaboration: it is not really a resource that encourages students to work together. I wonder if that is something they would add if enough teachers provided them with feedback? Or if you could even make EdPuzzles that you could assign to groups, not individuals.
Thanks for the feedback!! Your thought about the collaboration made me think more. How cool would it be if EdPuzzle added a feature to where a task could be done as a group? That really would make students discuss and collaborate.
I appreciate your evaluation of Edpuzzle and how it allows students to think about their learning. It is also good to see how it enables the learner to communicate and interact with their teacher at a self-regulated pace. As I was reading, I wondered if there were any peer-to-peer interactions, and then you mentioned this was a feature it lacked. I can see how being able to engage with one another would be important in learning the language. Perhaps there could be other tools embedded with Edpuzzle to allow for students to communicate with one another.
Yes!! Exactly… maybe embedding a collaboration feature where responses would have to be figured out through discussion prior to just selecting an answer. Thanks for your feedback.
