Blendspace Review




I'm so excited to write about this awesome platform! Blendspace is simply a platform for creating lessons. Until now, it is the most useful and most user-friendly website I've ever seen. There is an empty template and all you have to do is to choose your content from the search engine right next to the template which includes Youtube, Google, Google Images, Flickr, and most importantly, ready lessons! You can also create your own content by writing it or choosing from your computer files. Another great feature is that you can add quizzes to your lesson and track students' answers. This website definitely makes teachers' job very easy. It is useful for both virtual and physical classrooms. I prepared a mini introductory lesson to Biology in less than 10 minutes!

Here is my sample lesson:

  Ed-puzzle is a website for creating educational videos. Other than creating our own videos, the platform enables us to use countless content on YouTube and edit them which makes the website quite useful. What I find the most beneficial is that teachers can add questions to some parts of the videos. So when a video is assigned to students, they need to listen carefully and answer the questions. I believe it is a great and fun way of assigning homework. Here is a YouTube video I edited on Edpuzzle. I cropped the video and added a question. This video can be used in a classroom for an introduction lesson to Philosophy or can be assigned to students before an introduction course.
