In an earlier post I showed off a website that could allow students to take notes while watching a YouTube video. Well, eduCanon cranks this up a notch and allows you to create trackable quizzes based off of YouTube videos. That's right, students can take a quiz that is integrated into a YouTube video. Educators can create up-to 8 classes with student accounts that will show not only if they watched the video, but also how well they did on the quiz. Below you will see both a example and tutorial on how to create your own eduCanon.

Watch the video below to see how easy it can be to create a Google Form and share it.
