Designing Listening Activities with Edpuzzle

Blended Learning and Edpuzzle

Although many e-resource applications and activities are new, we don't want to abandon traditional approaches that work very well, including face-to-face teaching, reading books and watching videos. These often-used approaches all allow students to practice authentic communication skills and strategies. The Blended Learning approach aims to provide lessons that integrate the best of new and traditional resources, "the best of both worlds".

EdPuzzle is one online e-resource which helps teachers do the blending and balance the benefits of readily available video content with the advantages of teacher-made comments and questions. Using Edpuzzle, teachers can use any teaching video resource and convert it into a teaching tool or stand-alone listening activity by inserting audio or text notes, multiple choice or open-ended questions. EdPuzzle helps teachers to assign and monitor student activity through advanced organization and supervision tools. Moreover, it's free!

In today's workshop, you will first try out EdPuzzle from the student's perspective. Then, using a teacher account, you can create and share your own EdPuzzle listening activities.

When you're finished, paste the link to your own EdPuzzle video here as Participation Point 7.

Let's give it a try!
