EdPuzzle


Summary: Create videos that students watch and are asked questions as they view the video.

Advantages: 

  • EdPuzzle communicates with Google Classroom and can be assigned to students through it. 
  • Students can watch videos at their own pace. 
  • The video will pause if the students click off the screen.
  • There are several videos already created by other teachers that you can modify and save to fit your needs.
  • Helps with e-Learning since you can create an interactive lesson for your students.
  • Collaborating with other teachers in your building is easy.


Disadvantages: I have not figured out how to record their scores for the videos, if that is something you are interested in.

Use:

1. Create your account and search for videos on whatever topic you're interested in. (You can also upload your own video to start from scratch.)

2. When you select a video, you have the option to edit, copy, assign, or share.
Editing- allows you to modify the video to your needs

Copy- take the video as is to add to your collection

Assign- post on Google Classroom as is to your students

Share- get a link to email it or embed it online (see example below)

Nitrogen and Carbon Cycle Foldable

I was inspired to create foldables for my 6th graders on the carbon and nitrogen cycles after viewing one created by the blog " The Inspired Classroom ".  She had created a much cuter one for the water cycle.  Please forgive my pictures, descriptions, and handwriting. :)     If you would like a free copy of the nitrogen foldable or carbon foldable , you can find it at My Teachers Pay Teachers.

Biomes Foldable

I had way too much fun making this.  My students are going to be learning about these biomes next and I created this example of the finished product and one with the pictures/words without the cuts.  I photocopied the sheet and shrunk it to 75%.  The students will cut it out, fold down the extra space on the left side, and glue it in their notebooks.  Underneath each tab, they will write characteristics of the biomes. I am clearly on a foldable kick!  Thank you snow days. :) I did create a digital version of this for you to download on my Teacher Pay Teachers. It's free!

Rubric Maker

I am a huge fan of project-based learning! As a result, I create lots of rubrics. Sometimes I write them myself and other times, I like to find premade ones to help me clarify the assessment piece. A co-worker in Colorado introduced me to Rubistar  years back. It's free and pretty user-friendly. They have several premade categories and criteria, but you can alter them to fit your needs. The website is old, but don't let that throw you off.
