EdPuzzle and Blendspace

Edpuzzle has a library full of videos for multiple subjects you may teach in your classroom.  The teacher will assign videos for their students to watch.  The teacher can make their own videos or use the ones already on the website.  The teacher can add a quiz to the videos to test students knowledge of the subject.  Questions and the teachers voice can be added to videos as well.  This app is great for a flipped classroom setting.  You can use the videos for station rotation.  They are only allowed to move on if they score so high on the quiz.  Videos can be assigned to the students for homework and used for students who were absent.  Teachers are able to view what each students is doing, see their progress, and monitor their scores.  This is offered as an app or can be accessed by the website. 

Blendspace helps teachers organize lessons.  You can add videos for your lessons and categorize them by the lesson or type.  Articles, pictures, and PowerPoints can also be added in with the videos for each lesson they correspond with.  This already has a library full of videos added and is a great resource when students are needing to research a topic.  You can showcase students progress as well.

Both of these resources would work great for a flipped classroom.  They both give you access to videos on all kinds of different content or it allows you to upload your own videos.  You can monitor what videos your students have watched and see how they are doing on any quizzes you have added.  Both of these allow the students to access them anytime from anywhere.  These are resources I will keep in mind in my own classroom.  Instead of homework why not assign them an extra lesson video to watch.  For my students that may not have access to a pc or tablet at home I will give them some time at the beginning of class to review the video.  For my students who might be struggling on a subject I may assign them extra videos that may help them catch on.  We can also view them together in small group.
