Flipgrid Friday

 This was the first time that students experienced Fipgrid. It's always so exciting and so much fun to watch them discover how awesome it is. So basically Flipgrid allows students to record videos that go directly to a password protected "grid". Each grid has  different topic or assignment given by the teacher. Students record their video in selfie mode (or have a buddy film them), then take a selfie as their cover. Then, other students can not only view their fab video, but all the other videos and make reactions and comments. This is  great for those students that may not always be willing to share in front of the class in a traditional setting. Sometimes time just doesn't allow for everyone to be heard. Flipgrid makes that possible. As a teacher, I can watch the responses and respond on my time as well as have a valuable portfolio asset to keep. *Flipgrid basic is free to educators! Woohoo!

     For our first Flipgrid experience, the students told me about the books they were currently reading and if they would recommend them to others. We did this during our Friday afternoon DEAR time.
They LOVED it!!
