Yesterday I found out a cool site that enables us teachers to check student's comprehension while they are watching a video.
ZAPTION is an online tool that works with videos called "tours" that become alive... yes! ALIVE!
This means that we can upload a video and add MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS, TEXT, IMAGES, and OPEN RESPONSE BOXES to the video. Students will begin watching a video and suddenly a text box will show up to their left or right part of the screen with questions about the content they are actually watching!!!
How cool is this!!!
I believe this works great as a Flipped Classroom strategy. Not only students come prepare with a background knowledge on a topic or unit, but we as teachers can test to see if they are understanding or not.
ZAPTION also has an ANALYTICS feature that enables users to analyze data from viewers.
We can see questions or sections students struggle with and focus our attention on those.
Truly a great tool for Formative Assessments, differentiation and learning styles.
Here is my recent created ZAPTION TOUR!

I shared my tour with students, so they could practice and review for our 1st Semestral Geography Exam.
Later I will let you know what they though about this new tool!
Cheers,
