Technology is revolutionizing the teaching

Question One: EdPuzzle flipped classroom method
The use of the EdPuzzle flipped classroom method entails giving learners video lessons
and using class time for more useful activities. Students will learn basic concepts using the
assigned video lessons, and the teacher will focus on reinforcing activities that make the topic
clearer to the students (Mischel, 2018).
I could use the flipped classroom, for instance, EdPuzzle, to introduce a Maths subject.
Math is taught in two parts, that is, theory and practice. EdPuzzle flipped classroom would allow
me to create and give students videos covering the theory. I would use the class time for
problem-solving activities and help the learners in applying the concepts learned in theory.
Other activities, which require my oversight and guidance that I could orchestrate using
small group instruction during this time, would include:
a) Assigning video lessons on fundamental theory and using small group instruction to clear
up any doubts that the learners may have (Mehring, 2016).
b) Use videos that show students how to solve a problem and then use class time to answer a
more sophisticated version of the same problem.
Question 2
Technology is revolutionizing the teaching-learning process, and with advancements like
screen recording, teachers can now shift from teacher-centered-learning to student-centered-
learning. This method is called a flipped classroom. The technique changes the teaching that was
happening in the confines of a class online. And the teachers have to record videos using tools
such as screen recording. In the flipped classroom, the time is spent in discussions and in-class

assignments. The following are some of the ways that I would use screen recordings to facilitate
the independent use of new educational technology in my classroom:
a) I would use a screen recording to create videos for hard-to-grasp concepts. The video
would allow my students to view it multiple times with the option to pause and watch the
videos again at any time they feel like until they understand the concept. In doing so,
screen recording would also save me valuable class time and help in engaging the
students. The main advantage with screen recording is that once a lecture or a concept is
recorded, the learners will be able to watch the video, pause and rewatch as many times
as they want as per their learning pace and needs (Muna & Paparas, 2016).
b) Screen recording can be done from anywhere at any time and then shared with the
students at anytime from anywhere.
c) In cases where the teacher you fall ill, or you are traveling, screen recorded lectures can
aid in closing the gap that might result from your missing classes. Thus screen recording
can help keep the course running even when you are away.
d) Screen recording is easy. With the help of a video tool (many video tools are available as
browser plugins, add-ons or extensions), you can be able to use your webcam, press
record and start teaching.
Also, I would be more likely to implement technology for students to complete
assignments. Lectures are arranged in modules and assignments provided at the end of each
module. The tasks have a pre-determined method of submission. For instance, if the assignment
is to write an essay, a word document or pdf file would be needed for submission with additional
assistive technologies such as safe-assign to check the article for plagiarism.
Question Three: Provide feedback or ask questions about your classmates' EdPuzzle video
