EDpuzzle
EDpuzzle is a great webtool to use if you use web videos in your classroom. You can use a video created by someone else, or create your own. With EDpuzzle, you are able to add questions, audio, and other aspects to your video. The teacher is then able to track how their students are doing with the questions and their progress through the video.

Technology Tip - Appear.in
Appear.in
Appear.in is a great video conferencing website and/or app. The site allows up to 8 people to video chat at once. There is no login or installing required! The quality is great. All you need is a camera and a microphone. It's almost too easy! This could be an option for an online class, or for a student that has been absent for an extended period. It could also be used personally as well to make video calls. It also works from an iPad or iPhone through their app. And it's all free!

Tech Tip
Google Hangouts
If you are looking for a way to connect multiple classrooms via a video chat, look no further than Google Hangouts! If you already have a Google account, you more than likely already have the ability to chat using Google Hangouts. Unlike Skype, Hangouts allow for multiple people to be video chatting at one time on the same screen. You can get the same feature from Skype, but there is a cost associated with upgrading to this feature. NASA has a very active Google Hangouts page and allows you to connect your students with astronauts or even visit with someone in space. President Obama has also used the Hangouts as a way to connect with people. He recently completed a chat with people from all around the country. Google Hangouts would be a great way to share a guest speaker with your colleagues or even with a friend or classroom miles away.

Resource
MN Video Vault
The MN Video Vault is a project of Twin Cities Public Television. The Vault contains hundreds of programs from the tpt archives: classic interviews and performances from Nighttimes Variety, Newsnight Minnesota and Almanac as well as a broad cross-section of tpt documentaries. Also included are current tpt productions, as well as programs from other regional public television stations. And soon, the MN Video Vault will feature new web-only tpt productions.
All of the material in the MN Video Vault is fully searchable. Programs have been broken into segments and tagged with key information to make specific videos easy to locate. In addition, all of the material is closed-captioned and, through advanced search functions, these captions can be searched to locate any word spoken within a program. Finally, many of the video segments will be tagged to relevant Minnesota State Academic Standard benchmarks, to facilitate classroom use.
Ultimately, the MN Video Vault will provide a platform for the preservation, digitization, cataloging, tagging and presentation of video material from the archives of regional museums, educational institutions, historical societies and other institutions.
