Zaption + Google Classroom

   

 How often do you use videos in your class? 

YouTube has several educational resources that can be utilized for all disciplines. What if you could make those videos interactive? Or embed questions? Here’s where Zaption comes in. Zaption has a free option available as well as professional features that are available with paid subscriptions. Videos can be added from YouTube, Vimeo, PBS and many more websites. Your videos can easily be assigned to students in Google Classroom.

          In addition to being able to add interactive features like questions, polls, and quizzes, the reports provide great data for teaching. After each lesson, a report is generated that gives a summary of the report. Zaption’s gallery has professional development to help assist teachers with ideas.

          Zaption isn’t just for teachers, it’s great for anyone that trains others. Short videos can be an asset to any trainer. More importantly, using an application like Zaption provides a record of exactly what participants take away from training sessions.

3 Ways to Implement Zaption in your Classroom:

1. Assess prior knowledge. Use a short video about a topic and embed questions to see     how much students already know about a topic.

2. Add to Google Classroom for review. Post a Zaption video in the Google Classroom     to support the lesson that was taught during the class period. This gives students a         reference as well as a way for you to gather data about what they learned. Based on       the lesson report, you can reteach portions of the lesson or move forward.

3. Parent Communication. Short videos are great ways to communicate with parents.         The Zaption link can be shared to parents via e-mail, the embedded questions allow       for parents to solicit feedback or simply documentation that they viewed the video.
