How Tectonic Plates Shape our World
This video and attached quiz will summarize how the Earth's tectonic plates move, in which direction they move, and what are the effects of the tectonic plates moving.  The questions in the video will allow the student to be able to answer questions about why our world looks like it does.  Students should be able to understand or theorize how mountains, valley's, and local features are formed or may have been formed.  Group or class discussions could follow the presentation to facilitate discussion on how local features in your community may have 
Utah Core Standard 2
Objective 2
Identify specific geological features created by volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift. 

Give examples of different land-forms that are formed by volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift (e.g., mountains, valleys, new lakes, canyons). 

Describe how volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift change land-forms. 

Cite examples of how technology is used to predict volcanoes and earthquakes. 

Utah Ed Tech Standard 6
Use telecommunications efficiently and effectively to access remote information and communicate with others in support of direct and independent learning and for pursuit of personal interests.

 ISTE Standard 1
Empowered Learner
Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning sciences.

 Reflection:  This tool has many applications in the classroom.  I like that it is interactive, so that students can answer questions as they go.  This will help the students to stay involved.  By keeping the students engaged through the presentation, more information can be retained.  The lesson is more than the recommend 7 minutes, but I feel that the content in the video needs to viewed all at once to fully understand how the features of earth may have been formed.  It would be possible to break the lesson down into 3 shorter segments if needed to teach each type of plate boundary separately, but together is better.  I feel this is a great tool to use.  before discovering it I was trying to do the same thing by combining the video and questions in seperate applications. EdPuzzle combined them into one presentation for me, making the whole process easier.
