Alpha Male 2020

Rating: 1/5

Let me tell you something, I don’t have time for this nonsense. As an alpha male, I’ve been around long enough to know when something’s not worth my time, and Edpuzzle is exactly that. Tried using it for a class, and it’s a complete disaster. The videos freeze, the quizzes don’t work, and half the time, it’s just a giant mess of glitches and frustration. If I wanted to waste my time, I’d watch paint dry. Back in my day, we didn’t need this digital nonsense. We taught lessons, got results, and moved on. Now, we’ve got this overhyped app that’s supposed to be “innovative,” but instead, it’s just a headache. A little while ago, my entire class who doesn’t wear earphones was blasting the same Indian guy at 2x speed explaining why a lion is a mammal for the 200th time. And don’t even get me started on the customer service, I called them up and wanted to complain about his disappointed I am with this app, and what I heard was scaring. I explained how I’m the alpha male and they have to listen to me… all I heard was a little baby crying in the background. I wonder what they did to that poor baby, did they torture them with their app? This app is horrible, the customer service tortures babies, and the Indian guys lesson is still ringing in my head from 3 months ago. Save yourself.

Edpuzzle's model of prolonged screen time can be detrimental to children's health, contributing to a sedentary lifestyle that fosters obesity, sleep disorders, and decreased physical fitness. The platform's interactive video lessons, while engaging, can lead to excessive screen exposure, potentially causing eye strain, headaches, and blurred vision. Furthermore, the constant stream of information can overwhelm young minds, leading to increased stress and anxiety levels. Edpuzzle's potential negative impact on children's mental health shouldn't be overlooked. Excessive screen time has been linked to decreased attention span, social isolation, and decreased face-to-face communication skills. By relying heavily on Edpuzzle and similar platforms, educators may inadvertently contribute to a generation of students who struggle with deep thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence. A more balanced approach to education, incorporating hands-on activities and outdoor learning, may be essential to mitigating these risks and promoting overall well-being.

yo. if you're not hating on edpuzzles as a student, then you're a sellout. you're a class traitor, and you're letting LAZY TEACHERS capitalize off of your time. yes, edpuzzles are easy, but they are time consuming and don't teach anything. they are wasting DAYS, YEARS off of YOUR LIFE SPAN. allowing teachers to edit whether or not a student can skip through was a bad idea. allowing them to change whether or not you can change the speed of the video was worse. i'm sorry i'm not an idiot, but i don't want my time wasted just because you think my classmates are slow. they're not. they're not slow enough to warrant needing PARENT SETTINGS. this app teaches me nothing but hatred for education.
