Introducing interactive questions for YouTube videos in Google Classroom

What’s changing

Educators can now turn any YouTube video into an interactive lesson by adding questions for their students to answer throughout the video. 

The interactive questions feature turns a passive watching experience into an engaging one, and improves students’ understanding of a subject by providing them with the space to make mistakes, review incorrect answers and assess correct answers at their own pace. 

Once students within a class have completed the video activity, educators will have access to a dashboard of key insights based on student engagement levels.

Why you’d use it 

While interactive YouTube video assignments will be beneficial to students, it will also help educators identify concepts that need more instruction time, discover students who may need extra support and also shape future lesson plans. Educators are also able to scale individualized support since students will get real-time validation as they answer certain question types in the video activities.

You can now use the “Resources” tab in the Classroom left navigation to find and manage all your video activities and practice sets.
