​Different studies show that new technologies can help students to learn and teachers to teach more effectively.

Research suggests that, although Information and Communication Technologies can improve learning, there are a large number of aspects that need to be considered if we want the new technologies conceive an effective difference. (1)

​This presentation aims to share with you two tools that I have been using during the last two years for teaching Chemistry.: EdPuzzle and Quizziz

​What is Edpuzzle?

​

EDpuzzle is a teaching tool used to place interactive content into pre-existing videos from a variety of sources, such as TED or YouTube, or into videos you have made

​

​How do teachers use EDpuzzle?

With Edpuzzle, you can make any video your lesson in three easy steps: Find a video on YouTube, upload your own or re-use a video lesson created by another teacher. Then, edit the video to create your lesson. Record your voice to personalize it, and hold your students accountable by embedding questions in the video.

Why do teachers use EDpuzzle?

EdPuzzle is the perfect tool for allowing students to watch and engage with videos while the teacher gathers data throughout the lesson. As teachers dabble into the flipped classroom philosophy, EdPuzzle is the perfect enhancement tool for videos to be watched at home instead of eating up valuable class time.

​How do use Edpuzzle in my class.

​

1- For introducing a new topic/chapter.

2- "Virtual Lab Activities"

3- Homework​

What is Quizizz?

​How do I use Quizziz in my Chemistry class?

​

1- In every face-to-face presentation.

2-Online presentation.

3- Inserting questions, videos, webpages on the slides for engaging and checking comprehension.

4- Creating worksheets and online quizzes.

5- Assigning as homework after class.
