Have you used EDpuzzle in your classroom yet? I haven't, and I can't wait to do so. EDpuzzle is a free video-customization site, offering so many applications for both students and teachers. You can use EDpuzzle to search for a video, or start with a video to which you already have access. The video can then be cropped, so you can use only the relevant parts of it. Quizzes can be embedded into the video, so you can evaluate your students' comprehension during the lesson. You can add your audio notes or create a voice-over during the video. The videos that you create can be embedded onto your class website or LMS. EDPuzzle would be great for teachers implementing a flipped classroom.
While I am already imagining lessons that I can create with EDpuzzle, I am even more excited about having my students create projects using this tool. It is a innovative way to present material, giving choices other than PowerPoint and Prezi (not that I don't love Prezi and PowerPoint). EDpuzzle would be a good choice for group projects, and could be great for students who have anxiety about presentations. The project can be constructed and narrated individually, and then presented without stage fright. I am excited to try it - here is a link to the EDpuzzle site...check it out!
