Class 10: Promote Active Viewing

This week our focus will be designing lessons around existing video content. There’s so much video content out there , but you need to help students truly interact with the video content, rather than passively consuming it.

First – take a quick look at ViewPure – share video content with students without related sidebar video suggestions. 
Click here to “purify” a video.
This is a great tool to shelter your students from nasty YouTube content that may only be a few clicks away.

In this lesson we will use EdPuzzle. It’s a free web-based tool that you can use to pick a video, add your magical touch and track your students’ understanding. It allows you to add questions, audio and notes to existing videos from Y ouTube, Khan Academy, Crash Course and more. If you’d rather record and upload your own video, go for it!

Use EdPuzzle to turn a video into a lesson.

• You can use a video you create or a video you find on the internet.
• Your EdPuzzle should include a variety of questions, comments and notes. How about a voice over?
• Embed into a WordPress post that includes a written description of the audience and purpose of your lesson. 
• As always, be sure to include a featured image and clever title for your post.
