What is FilmDoo?
FilmDoo Academy is an edtech tool that empowers teachers to easily turn any film and video into an interactive lesson.
The tool can be used with students of all ages and learning levels as well as for any subject using a film or video that you have selected.
Not only that, teachers are able to check for understanding of knowledge retention and “recall” by adding quizzes, questions and puzzles to the video.

I really love how engaged my students are whilst using the tool and their eagerness to use it in every lesson. It brings new energy to my class. Also, I think it's great how once I've created a class, I can use that as a template for other students going forward. Which saves me a lot of time.
