Technology Use in my Classroom- 2.28.18

A technology tool I have used in the past is Flipgrid. Flipgrid is a socially designed video learning platform. It is a free web based service that allows for teachers or students to submit discussion questions or topics. Students can then upload unlimited videos up 90 seconds each. There are various settings and paid versions, but the standard free version is extremely useful. In order to get more than one grid you must have a paid version of the service either a classroom, school, or district subscription. These paid versions also open up the opportunity for students to share videos of a much longer length. Student response videos are organized in a social media type grid format that students/teachers can review and respond to easily. Flipgrid allows for fun, easy, engaging discussions to occur from outside or inside the classroom. I particularly like to use this resource when we are working on group projects. I plan to use this tool in the next few weeks while we prepare for dissections :)
