We all know how much our students connect with videos – they're a fantastic way to bring learning to life! However, in today's busy world, simply hitting "play" can often lead to passive viewing, where engagement and true comprehension can wane. For those of us who loved making those videos a bit more brain-tickling with tools like Edpuzzle, you might've noticed a few changes lately to their freemium options. That's why we’re here to tell you about some other awesome ways to make your video lessons truly engaging and move beyond passive viewing.
The key to transforming video from a passive experience into an active learning opportunity lies in interaction. By embedding questions directly within the video, we prompt students to actively think, recall information, and check their understanding in real-time. This not only keeps them more attentive but also fosters deeper learning and retention.
Check out the chart below – we've highlighted three great options available within our district that let you pop questions right into your videos, turning passive viewers into active participants. You can create as many quizzes as you like, with all sorts of question types to assess different levels of understanding, and they even grade automatically – saving you valuable time!
So, if you're curious to see which of these awesome tools might be your perfect match, please don't hesitate to connect with your friendly building tech coach. We're genuinely excited to help you bring even more dynamic and impactful learning experiences to your students!
