Interactive Videos - Play Posit (fka Educanon)



I am happy to announce that we now have access Play Posit Premium as a school site. Play Posit is an interactive video program that allows you to use videos and embed different types of questioning formats throughout the viewing process. Students can than interact in a more thoughtful way with videos/video clips. This lends itself very well to the idea of a “flipped-classroom”.

Note: Play Posit recommends Google Chrome for the best experience.

 Here are a couple of action items and resources to get onboarded:
1.       Sign up for a Play Posit, then logout and click this link to upgrade to Premium (all teachers at Powell will automatically be upgraded to premium)
2.       Check out the "Getting Started" flyer if you want to begin exploring Play Posit




Today let's explore creating one video. Next week we can explore assigning videos and looking at reports. Pick a URL for a video you could use to embed questions.
