Edpuzzle is a free to use web tool that enables you to transform videos into an active learning environment. You can use your own videos, or videos that you have found from another source, like YouTube or Khan Academy.
Edpuzzle gives you the tools to crop the videos down to just the clips you want the students to watch, to add your own audio commentary and notes and also to slip in some questions for the students to answer – a great way to encourage some deeper thinking and to check how they are engaging with the subject.
To use Edpuzzle you will need to sign up for a free teacher account: Ed Puzzle Sign up
The video below shows how to set up your own Ed Puzzle
Have a go at the Edpuzzle I just set up as a student, what do you think?

Is EdPuzzle only available for non-commercial use?

Hi Stephanie, honest answer is that I’m not sure. I’ve had a quick look over the website and can’t see any licence restrictions but you might want to investigate more thoroughly if you’d like to use for commercial purposes.

Does Edpuzzle have a discussion form function?

Hi Chloe – I have had a look in the EdPuzzle Help Centre https://support.edpuzzle.com/hc/en-us/sections/360001671011-Getting-Started but couldn’t see a discussion form function. Perhaps you could embed it into a VLE and create the discussion there?
Thanks
Cath
