I'm now a Flipgrid Ambassador! Pretty pumped to share this awesome tool with not only my staff, but at conferences, edcamps, and other professional learning opportunities.
I've written about Flipgrid in the past, but I wanted to do a little post about 5 innovative ways to use it in your classroom in case you like it but you're a little stumped! 1. Use it as a bellringer! Have a question about what you learned the previous class period and see your students give their answer via video and more importantly see them think. 2. Have a class debate! Have your students create a video of their point of view then reply to a classmate. 3. Feedback. You can have your students give feedback on a lesson you just finished or a project they're doing. See what they think and what they would change! 4. Book Review. Use Flipgrid to facilitate book discussions over characters or plots or themes. Get them to dive into a character and share what they think! 5. Exit Ticket. Have your kiddos respond to something that they learned in your class, something they did or created, or something that they're struggling with. If you're interested in using Flipgrid more, visit Flipgrid's blog! There you can find more ways to use it in the classroom as well as ways to become a Flipgrid Certified Educator as well as a Flipgrid Community Builder. Also take a look at #FlipgridFever on Twitter! What are some other ways you see yourself using Flipgrid in your classroom?

Let's talk Flipgrid.
Super awesome video discussion tool that can SUPER enhance your classroom. Students record their answers to a question you've posed or share what they're thinking in a discussion on your class Flipgrid. Then, they can watch their peers' video posts and even comment back! Talk about upping the game when it comes to classroom discussion! Instead of having one topic discussed at a time, students can watch various viewpoints from their peers and have multiple conversations going on at once. Think of the possibilities of this when it comes to Foreign Language when you have your students talk to one another! You won't have to walk around to each individual group any longer - you can have them talk to one another and see the videos as soon as they post. I thought this was similar to Recap at first, but it's a different beast for a different purpose. Here, the students are posting to a grid that their entire class can see. They can comment back and learn from each other. Recap is fantastic - but for the purpose of assessing students in a manner that only the teacher sees. Flipgrid has paid and free versions, but the free version will do everything you need it to! |
