I’ve taken one of my favorite recorded classroom lessons, presented by Jo Boaler , and used EDpuzzle to highlight the excellent teaching strategies she uses. In this post, I want to present an idea for using EDpuzzle as a classroom observation tool. EDpuzzle could be used during teacher training, for teacher observation and coaching, and just for a general reflective practice.
