Here are four different ways we can change videos from a passive experience in our classroom to an interactive one. Below is a link to the slides I use in the clinic.
Edpuzzle
|
Edpuzzle is a great way to make sure your students are understanding the material presented to them in a video. In the video on the left, I go through adding questions and comments as well as replacing the audio of a video with your own audio.

Comment Bubble
Comment Bubble was originally shown to me as a way for film makers to get more effective critiques of their work. However, it is useful in the classroom because your students can instantly react to what they see in a video and you can instantly see what they are thinking about each part. This program also has the bonus of being able to log in with Google. In the video on the right, I show you how to make a reaction video using Comment Bubble and post it to Google Classroom.

Mixing Google Forms and Video
|
Google Forms simplify the process of collecting and grading information from your students. When you embed videos in the form it can become a great way to present new information with a fun video. Or, you can direct a student that gets an answer wrong to a screencast of you explaining how to get the right answer before you send them back to the question to try again. In the video to the left, I explain how to effectively use a video in Google Forms

Screencastify
Screencastify is a free app that allows you to record your screen then quickly share it as a YouTube video or with a Google Drive shareable link. I use this to give students quick feedback on their papers as I read through them and dictate. This app further enables me to give directions to my students when I cannot be there. It can also be helpful to record lessons, explanations for difficult problems, or often repeated directions. In this video, I explain how use Screencastify to make and share a video.
