Artifact Description:
Educanon is a website that allows teachers to input questions or reflecting moments into a YouTube video. In this video, the teacher can provide questions for the students to answer that are reported back to the teacher. For this, the teacher is able to see a students' progress and ensure that the student is watching the video and learning the material. The types of pauses available to students are multiple choice questions, open ended questions, and reflecting moments. To create this artifact, I created an account then imported a YouTube video from my virtual co-op's YouTube channel. Then while playing the video, I could select when to add in questions. To have students use this activity, I would assign it as a lecture for students to watch for the purpose of a flipped classroom but also ensuring that they are learning and watching the video. The results will end up on my account on Educanon and I can use them to make sure students understood and expand upon any misunderstandings. This fits into component 3D because it is a formative assessment tool. It fits more particularly into element 1, which is assessing criteria because by the questions asked, students will understand what information is pertinent to the learning.
Artifact Reflection:
Creating questions in a video in Educanon was very easy to do. It was simple to add a video and just as easy to add questions. If I were to do this again, I would like to do it on a mathematical topic to see how I can apply it to my classroom as a math teacher. This tool would be very helpful in the future for reviewing concepts that students are already expected to know or to help reinforce a difficult topic that was taught in class. This ties into educational psychology because it provides a different way for students to learn for students who learn differently. For students who need to be reminded more than once what the lesson is, they can watch this video and go through the questions to make sure that they are learning the material. It provides students with personal responsibility for learning through a video.
