Edpuzzle

       I think Edpuzzle really helps teachers in the learning process. teachers can create interesting video questions. This can make students more interested to follow the learning process. Through Edpuzzle students can also create tasks assigned by teachers. This application is very easy and useful for teachers and students because with this application students are easier to understand and interested. 

I like Edpuzzle because it makes it easier for teachers to give exams or assignments to students, in addition to this application make the students are more interested in material taught teachers with different forms.

I do not like Edpuzzle because sometimes it requires internet connection instead of offline application. In addition, how to make a material using this application takes a lot of time.

 How to make Edpuzzle


1. Create an Account

          To create an EDpuzzle account, navigate to Edpuzzle.com. Click on the “Teacher Start Now” button. A new page will load with a brief introduction. Click on the “Start tour” button to begin a brief walkthrough of how to trim and add a question to a video. Follow along in the tutorial, clicking on the “Continue” button when finished with each page. On the last page, click on “Create my first lesson” to make an account. 




2. Make a Lesson

To annotate and add questions to a new video,  click on “Search” at the top of the screen.


  

Added via URL by typing or pasting it in the search bar.Uploaded from a computer file by clicking the “Upload” button. After selecting a video, click on it and select the “Use it” button.


Edit Video Content 

The video can now be edited. At any point during the editing process, progress can be saved by clicking on the green “Save” button. When navigating between editing options,  EDpuzzle will automatically save the lesson, however it is still a good idea to save often, especially if doing a lot of editing. To navigate between editing options, click on the icons at the top of the screen.




Crop


To access Crop options, click on the scissors icon at the top of the screen. The beginning and/or end can be trimmed off, if only a specific section of the video is to be
used. To crop the video, click and drag the red indicators at the bottom of the video.

Audio Track


Audio track is a recording that spans the entire length of the video. This is useful to add a new lecture or commentary to an already existing video. For an audio track, the recording must be the length of the video and will replace the original audio. If the recording is not the full video length it will not save. A warning will appear if attempting to navigate away from the page with an audio track that is not the full video length. 

Audio Notes


Then click on the microphone button below the video to begin recording. A pop-up may appear, asking to allow EDpuzzle access to the microphone; click on “Allow” to enable recording. An Audio Note pauses the video and plays the audio clip recorded, such as a verbal comment or note about a piece of the video.

Quizzes


The last editing option is Quizzes. A quiz marker will pause the video and prompt the viewer to answer a question or read a text comment. Adding a quiz can ensure that students are engaging with the video and paying attention to the content as it plays, rather than testing at the end. To add quizzes, click on the question mark icon at the top of the screen. Below the video, click in the video timeline to select a location for the question. Then click on the green question mark to add a question in that location.



3. Saving and Assigning a Lesson




When finished adding content to the video, click on the blue “Finish” button in the top-right corner of the screen. The first time creating a lesson, EDpuzzle will display prompts for creating a new class and sending the lesson to a class. 

Some recommended options include: Prevent Skipping: Under the Superpowers options, “Prevent Skipping” keeps viewers from freely skipping around the video. They can return to previously watched portions, but can’t When finished changing the options, click the “Send” button. move onto new portions, requiring them to view the entire video.


I think this application deserves to be used as a new tool for student learning process. Edpuzzle makes teachers easier at delivering material. Nowdays is the development of technology very rapidly, therefore learn can be done anywhere. This application is suitable to answer the needs of this era.

2. I like the google form because we can input data quickly and efficiently. You can reduce the risk of errors due to writing filled by applicants and no processes input data manually by the author. On other hand, I dont like the google form because sometimes the internet connection into a constraint in create a google form. Bad connection can make the process of creating a google form be distracted because we need a stable connection and rapidly. This is inconvenient for people far from the reach of the internet and can not access the internet.
