As a future educator, I believe that technology has to be involved in students learning. Now in the 21st Century education will need to engage the learner using web tools such as EDpuzzle. If teachers are able to incorporate technology with the lesson plan, students are able to learn with an effectiveness that is beneficial. As a student, I always thought that when teachers just put up movies or videos it would not engage me. This tool would help in that aspect because it would keep the student from dozing off or from daydreaming.

EDpuzzle is a great web tool that allows teachers and students to be engaged through the use of videos. EDpuzzle is an easy way to engage students with videos by picking a video, add your magical touch and track the students understanding. Teachers can select videos, edit them down, assign them to students, and quiz them as they watch.

With this free tool teachers can easily use the videos and quizzes to really make sure that the student is understanding the content in video. It is a great innovative way to flip a classroom. It allows the teacher to view which students have watched the videos and how well each student did on the question. EDpuzzle is 100% free for teachers. It’s easy to upload videos through YouTube. EDpuzzle to stream and store it. EDpuzzle is available on tablets and mobiles. You can embed the video on a blog. The best feature is that students don't need an email account.

“The principle goal of education is to create men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done.”

-Jean Piaget

 Technology is boundless and beneficial for students in their education in the 21^st century. I believe it is important as an educator to modify our approach to teach with the involvement of technology. We need to find the best approach to help students become lifelong learners. Our world is constantly changing with the influence of technology. 

Technology will play a huge role in my classroom. This will allow me to build a connection with students. Technology can enhance and promote engagement for each student and help them to interact with each other for social skills. Web 2.0 tools are key tools to help progress and keep students interested. Web 2.0 tools help stimulate learning for each student in the classroom.  Using tools like Edmodo will be a great start.

What is Edmodo?

Edmodo is a social learning platform and easy website for teachers, students, and parents. Using Edmodo, teachers can invite students into private groups that can be used for online classroom discussions, but in a format that keeps the teacher firmly in control.
