5th grade Science Standard 2: Students will understand that volcanoes, earthquakes, uplift, weathering, and erosion reshape Earth's surface.

Objective 2: Explain how volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift affect Earth’s surface.

• Identify specific geological features created by volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift. 
• Give examples of different landforms that are formed by volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift (e.g., mountains, valleys, new lakes, canyons). 
• Describe how volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift change landforms. 
• Cite examples of how technology is used to predict volcanoes and earthquakes. 

Ed Tech Standard 5: Use technology tools (e.g., multimedia authoring, presentation, web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom.

ISTE- 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.

I had a lot of fun creating an EDpuzzle video about Volcanoes- I enjoyed the process and I think this is definitely a program that I will use in my classroom.  I feel like this is something that will hold the attention of the students and teach them at the same time.  My video was introducing volcanoes and focusing on the beginning of the. I think it would be fun to allow the students to create their own video after learning more about volcanoes and earthquakes to show me how much they actually learned.  This could be a fun way to get them to learn how to present in from of other people and it can give them a chance to use their imagination and the facts in front of them and create an individual project.
