Forgot the password to your school email? Don’t remember where you left your teacher ID badge? It happens to the best of us!

That’s why we put together this list of everything you need to know about Edpuzzle for back-to-school time to make sure you won’t miss a thing.

Here’s what’s new:

1. Edpuzzle Originals

Did you know Edpuzzle creates its own content?

These professionally-made video lessons are made by a team of expert teachers and cover a wide range of topics, so there’s something for everyone.

They’re standards-aligned and come with questions already embedded, so all you have to do is copy and assign them to your students.

This fall, the Edpuzzle Original lesson library is expanding to cover middle and high school topics like Literary Devices, Algebra, Biology, and more!

2. Student Projects

Giving students choice is a critical part of engaging them.

With Student Projects, your students get the chance to create their own video lessons with questions and notes, just like their teachers.

The newest feature is that students can now upload their own videos for a wider range of creative opportunities.

Shake up your class homework with a project that activates higher-order thinking skills and gives students ownership of their own learning.

3. Audio Responses

There’s more than one way to answer a question. That’s why we wanted to find a more personal and accessible way for students to express themselves.

Now, you can give students the option of recording an Audio Response when answering an open-ended question.

Whether you want to learn how to say the names of new students or check student pronunciation in a language class, Audio Responses can give you that insight.

Give every student a voice, and hear what they have to say.

4. Admin Panel

With so many great video lessons to choose from in Edpuzzle, it’s important to be able to keep content consistent for teachers across your school or district.

Edpuzzle’s new Admin Panel helps your district manage teacher access to great video content and see how teachers and students are using it.

Keep all your teachers happy with unlimited access to video lessons, and keep your students on track with interactive video learning.

5. Google Add-On

With over 150 million users across the world, Edpuzzle is excited to announce a better and stronger relationship with our friends at Google Classroom.

With the new Google Add-on, you can create Edpuzzle assignments and have your students complete them directly in Google Classroom.

It’s as if the Edpuzzle experience lived inside your Google Classroom!

6. New LMS Integrations With Microsoft Teams, D2L, and Clever

Speaking of integrations, did you know that we added three new partners to the Edpuzzle family?

If you use Microsoft Teams, D2L, or Clever, you can now integrate your classes with Edpuzzle.

That means that you can save time and streamline your classes’ access to amazing video lessons.

7. New Privacy Partners

Edpuzzle is now a proud member of the Access 4 Learning Community and Student Data Privacy Consortium.

As always, Edpuzzle is committed to ensuring data integrity, privacy, and security in order to improve the quality of education and keep students safe.

8. Edpuzzle in Your Language

We’ve been hard at work to make Edpuzzle more accessible to more teachers and students than ever before.

You can now use Edpuzzle in Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, and Indonesian!

That means you can navigate Edpuzzle’s platform with total comfort and ease. All you have to do is go to your Edpuzzle profile and set your language preference to get started.

Keep an eye out in the near future for Edpuzzle in Italian, Romanian, and Malay!

We can’t wait to see how you use Edpuzzle this school year. Your feedback guides everything we do at Edpuzzle, so thank you for being a part of our community! Stay up-to-date on everything Edpuzzle by following us on Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
