  7/30 Edpuzzle https://edpuzzle.com/   Edpuzzle is a web-based tool that allows educators to turn any video into an interactive lesson. Its purpose is to enhance student engagement and accountability by embedding questions, notes or voiceovers into videos. Teachers can track student progress and responses, making it an effective tool for flipped classrooms or homework assignments. I’ve seen Edpuzzle used to assign instructional videos followed by comprehension questions that check for understanding in real time. It supports both teacher-led and self-paced learning.  Edpuzzle offers a free plan with limited storage and a paid plan with more features. It is accessible on any device and easy to integrate with platforms like Google Classroom and Microsoft. Edpuzzle makes video learning active instead of passive, which is ideal for visual learners and blended learning models.
