Presentation/Adding Questions to a YouTube Video: Zaption
Zaption is a technology tool that allows teachers to present videos with questions. It is a great formative assessment, assessing students throughout the video in the class. It keeps their attention on the video, and forces them to pay attention since they have to answer the questions. Since these videos can be published, students and parents can access the video by going to the URL. To start a video using Zaption, you need a video first. I found a video on Netiquette and uploaded it onto Zaption. After this, the video will play and you can insert a text slide, image slide, drawing slide, open response slide, multiple choice, and check box slide. These are the only slides that can be inserted in for free users. Numerical response slides, drawn response slides, discussion slides, replay slides, and jump slides are available for non-free users. Questions can appear in the video on the side, or on the video. The questions can either stop the video to make you answer them, or keep the video playing. The individual who created the video can then see the responses and see how many viewers s/he got.
This fits danielson's framework of teaching because it shows formative assessment. It provides questions to the students while they watch a video. Component 1F is about designing assessments for students, and that is just what Zaption allows teachers to create. It is a design of formative assessment.

I enjoyed using this tool and embedding questions into the video. It would have been nice to have discussion questions in the video, but since I am only a free user, it is fine that I do not have access to it. I learned about formative assessment in my foundation of teaching class, but I never thought about formative assessment in the form of a video with questions attached. I could use this in the future for my classroom, asking questions along the way so I know my students are listening.
