Reflection:

EDpuzzle was a fun tool to play around and become familiar with. I was hesitant about this tool, because it seemed intimidating shortening videos, pausing and adding in questions, but it was very simple to learn and create these clips. I liked how easy it was to choose a video to use, as it accessed videos from the internet right there in the first step. Because it was so simple, I see myself using EDpuzzle in the classroom where my students can create short assessment questions to cover different topics they are watching videos of. Also, they can make their own video presentations and supplement them with these assessments in their presentations. This is a fun way to assess and see if the students are grasping a concept. It could easily be used in a presentation with the group working together as a whole to answer the questions in a large group setting, as well. I really enjoyed this tool.
