Over the summer, I participated in a technology training and was introduced to Edpuzzle for educators. As I mentioned before, I had only used Edpuzzle in one online class and did not enjoy the entire experience. There were certain aspects I did appreciate, like the questions added to videos. I did not like the feature of not being able to move freely through the video. The presentation was locked in and this caused for issues with time. I would have to look at how long the presentation was in order to dedicate enough time.
In my classroom, I think I will be setting the audiobook videos to as unlocked because we will listen to the audiobook in class and i want my students to be able to move through the book and answer questions. There will still be the option to re-listen to the chapter and answer questions, but I want to make this lesson available to all learning levels. Some students will not need to re-listen, some might need to re-listen to a specific section, and others might need to listen to the entire chapter in order to answer the questions.
I believe Edpuzzle will provide more differentiation for all my students, both ELL and mainstream. As a teacher of ESL, i have to constantly revise lessons to make them accessible to the various abilities and technology will make this process a lot simpler.
