Edpuzzle: Plastic Pollution

 EDPUZZLE: PLASTIC POLLUTION 📼

Enlace tarea Edpuzzle

Creating an interactive learning experience with Edpuzzle sounds like a great way to engage students with authentic video content. Here's a plan for how I would approach this task:

Video Selection:

For this activity, I would choose a short documentary clip related to a topic we've been studying in class. Let's say we've been learning about environmental issues, so I'll select a 4-minute clip from a documentary about plastic pollution in oceans.

Learning Objectives:

1. Comprehension: Students will understand the impact of plastic pollution on marine life and ecosystems.
2. Vocabulary: Students will learn and practice key vocabulary related to environmental conservation and pollution.
3. Critical Thinking: Students will analyze the causes and effects of plastic pollution and brainstorm possible solutions.
4. Collaboration: Students will work in pairs or small groups to discuss and share ideas.

Sequence of Activities:

Before Class (Flipped Learning):

1. Assign the Edpuzzle video for homework and include embedded questions throughout to check comprehension.
2. Provide a list of vocabulary words related to the topic and ask students to look up definitions and examples.

In Class:

1. Begin the lesson by reviewing the vocabulary words together and discussing any questions or concerns about the video.
2. Divide students into pairs or small groups and assign each group a specific question or discussion prompt related to the video.
3. Give students time to discuss their assigned questions and come up with answers or solutions.
4. Facilitate a class discussion where each group shares their findings and ideas.
5. Wrap up the lesson by summarizing key points and encouraging students to think about how they can reduce plastic use in their daily lives.

Reflection:

• Video Choice: I chose a documentary clip on plastic pollution because it's a relevant and pressing environmental issue that ties into our curriculum.
• Learning Objectives: The activities were designed to improve comprehension, vocabulary, critical thinking, and collaboration skills.
• Flipped Learning: By assigning the video for homework, I freed up more class time for discussion and collaboration, allowing for deeper engagement with the material.
• Highlights: Students enjoyed the interactive nature of the Edpuzzle video and appreciated the opportunity to discuss and share their ideas with classmates.
• Improvements: Next time, I might incorporate more multimedia resources and real-life examples to further enhance student understanding and engagement.

Overall, using Edpuzzle to create an interactive learning experience was a success, and I look forward to incorporating more technology-enhanced activities into future lessons.
