Digital Age Learning Experiences - EdPuzzle

Digital Age Learning Experiences -


Take your videos to the next level.

Do you ever doubt that your students are taking the educational video you assign them to seriously?  Now, you will have the ability to check your student's understanding while they are still watching the video.  It's like a digital teacher's assistant.  How can you do this?  EdPuzzle allows you to search for an instructional video on all of the popular sites like Khan Academy and YouTube.  You can then modify the video by adding questions that students have to answer while they are watching the video.  This is just one of the wonderful features of EdPuzzle.  Look below to find more.


1st - Create a FREE account with EdPuzzle.
2nd - Find an instructional video you would like to use right on the website.
3rd - Watch the movie and pause it where ever you would like to make a change.
4th - Add quiz questions, voice overs, discussion questions, or crop the movie where you want.
Finally - Save the video and upload it to the outlet of your choice (ie. Schoology)



You have the option of selecting a multiple choice question, a discussion question, or an open-ended question.

Below you will find a very basic video showing you how easy it is to ask a question in EdPuzzle.


Once you have saved your file, create accounts for each of your students and their results will come back to you!





 The best part is, students will not be able to continue watching the video until they have answered each question!  This fits into both our content and tech curriculum.  First of all, it can be used to help teach and monitor ANY content that you can find on various instructional video sites such as Khan Academy and Learn Zillion.  This site also helps to address our Tech standards if you use this site with your students.  It will hallow you to create developmentally appropriate media projects which incorporates at least 3 components (e.g., text, graphics, audio/video, drawing, transitions, buttons, hyperlinks) and recognize and use menus and formatting options that are similar between applications.  Now, you can monitor your student work without even being there?  Enjoy!
