In my previous blog, I told you about the
process of making an interactive video with Edpuzzle. This video is designed to
be used in the flipped classroom model. My groupmates, Chelsia and Brooke, also
made interactive videos with Edpuzzle. As an exercise, we watched each other’s
videos and took the associated quiz.
Chelsia’s video was about strange
historical facts that aren’t well known. I could see using this video to create
interest in history for students. I’m not sure how you could transition from
this video into class discussion. It’s a fun video to watch for entertainment’s
sake, but it probably has little to contribute to the classroom.
Brooke’s video was an introduction
into the history of the Bubonic plague. It was very interesting and
educational. The video follows the migration of the Black Death from its roots
in Asia to Europe. The video would be fantastic as an introduction to more in
depth discussions in the classroom. When the students have the basic backstory
it makes it easy to expand on or clarify concepts in class. You could even
spend class time talking about the effects the plague had on society at a micro
level. As a future educator, I see a huge advantage in the flipped cl assroom
model. Edpuzzle makes creating interactive videos simple and quick.
