Viewing Student Work in EdPuzzle

K-12th Grade (All Subjects) EdPuzzle can be found in the Clever Library. Assignments can be created from scratch by starting with a video and adding questions or choose from one of the many premade assignments available in the EdPuzzle library.

Once students have completed the assignment the teacher has access to student data to inform instruction.
