Welcome back fellow teachers!
I am excited for today's post as we step into a 3rd Grade Health
Education class. Today's topic? The Food Pyramid. The platform I chose to teach
this subject is called EDpuzzle. This website allows you to choose any video,
upload it to the website, crop it down, add audio overlays, insert text, even
add mid video quizzes or commentary! This was helpful with my topic because as
the students watched the video they were able to fill out questions that
coincided with that part of the video. Super helpful! The video itself focuses
on the different food groups and what is included in them.
Pros: This website has been, by far, my favorite tool and I can
definitely see myself using it in my future classrooms. You can use it in any
subject, it is fun to use (as a teacher AND as a student), it allows creativity
in your questions, easy access, free, and overall it will help kids focus
during any video!
Cons: The only cons I could come up with was how
it might be difficult to select a video to use, and that not everyone has
internet access at home.
