"EDpuzzle" A Magical Tool To Flip Your Classroom

The easiest way to engage your students with videos

pick a video, add your magical touch and track your students' understanding

           Hello! And welcome back dear colleagues. I  was really eager to see you again after a long time of interruption, but pardon me! It was out of my control as there was no internet here in my house. Finally, the school year is about to start next Sunday and the days of interest and excitement using my favourite tech-tools throughout my teaching of my beloved language English. Today is our appointment with a special guest which is EDpuzzle which is a magical video tool through which you can flip your teaching and engage your students accompanied by the formative assessment questions that stop the video when the student watches it. Really, it's wonderful and easy to try. To sum up, I hope you give this tool a try and you won't regret. Don't forget to pray for me and ask you the supplication for me. See you soon in the upcoming posts, bye-bye.

Here is an example complete watching this video and back again to show you how I made it.

The next screen shots are from my laptop. I hope you enjoy them.

The upcoming video is the Second one that I edited and added questions as a kind of formative assessment. 

 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////

I hope you enjoy and SHARE it to all your friends to keep my blog up and continue my effort.

Plickers: A magic tool for teachers in the classroom

                 
                Plickers is a powerfully simple tool that lets teachers collect real-time formative assessment data without the need for student devices.

                 In fact, I myself has used this tool recently and it was fascinating and fruitful  for my pupils. So, I admire every teacher who is eager to use ICT inside his school environment to use this powerful tool. Although it needs more and more updates concerning the reports, but it's still an attractive tool for my pupils. Furthermore, I tried hard every time I use it to chat with the moderators of this website to develop the overview of the final reports and it was some of my chat with them as follows underneath:

----------------------------------------------------------

Hello, Everybody, I 'd like you to modify the report style if I want a report for every student with all questions, answers and final score that he or she got. Can you do this, please? like the reports of www.socrative.com and thanks a lot for your efforts. Waiting for your reply soon. Bye

and I ask if you set a report to print all exam questions only after I first input them without responses in order to redistribute them on my pupils if I didn't have a data show.Thanks.
4d ago. Seen.

Hi Hany,
Thanks for writing in. Happy you asked about this because reporting is actually the next big thing we're working on. It's still early in development, but we do hope to have student reports and give you the ability to generate reports based on multiple questions. Stay tuned for more news on this and let me know if you have anymore questions!
