EdPuzzle Thursday: Economic Stimulus (COVID-19) & Pay Yourself First

EdPuzzle is a great platform to test for knowledge while students watch a video and learn remotely. We will be releasing new EdPuzzle videos here on the blog each week so that your students can answer questions that are directly embedded within engaging videos. In light of the current pandemic, we will be also adding current event videos from Two Cents when relevant. So, on Thursday over the next few weeks, look for a combination of unit specific and current event EdPuzzle videos! 

This week, we have two EdPuzzle videos; one focusing on COVID-19 and one focusing on saving. 

The first EdPuzzle video titled "Will Economic Stimulus Save the Economy (COVID-19)?" teaches the difference between monetary and fiscal policy as well as discusses details related to the CARES Act.

 

 

In the second EdPuzzle video titled "Pay Yourself First," your students will learn strategies for increasing and automating their savings contributions.

Note: You do NOT need to create an account to ACCESS EdPuzzle videos. But if you do create free teacher and student accounts, you will then be able to capture and save student responses. For more tips and tricks on how to best implement these videos in your classroom, check out NGPF Fellow James Redelsheimer’s blog post or Amanda Volz's Tech Tip Video.
