Give Students Safe, Interactive YouTube Access with Edpuzzle

YouTube is full of amazing learning videos—but letting students roam unconstrained can lead to distraction or off-topic content. Our Social Media Awareness and Digital Citizenship Guidelines now require the use of Edpuzzle for teachers to assign specific YouTube videos to students.

Edpuzzle provides a simple process: you choose the video, embed checks for understanding, and let students safely explore via Student Projects. Here’s how to do it.

Install and use the Edpuzzle Chrome Extension to make sharing links super easy:

1. In Chrome, go to the Chrome Web Store and install the Edpuzzle extension.
2. Navigate to any YouTube video you wish to use. Click the Edpuzzle icon under the video.
3. Save the video. It’s now in your Edpuzzle library. You can share the link with students.

Use Student Projects for Safe YouTube Search for Students

1. In Edpuzzle, go to Add New in the top left-hand corner and then select New Student Project.
2. Create the project and Save and assign to give students access. You can share the link with students.

You can find more support for using Edpuzzle on Barrington 220's Digital Learning Hub for staff under the Edpuzzle heading.
