Flipgrid is website/app that allows students to answer a teacher prompted questions with a video response. Pretty simple, eh?
Yes it is simple..... but POWERFUL!
I have seen teachers use Flipgrid for:
- student book reviews
- math accountable talk
- make a hypothesis before a science experiment
- explain their thinking
- take notes for investigative journalism
- memorize a poem and present
- reflect on learning
My favorite part, though, is it helps our English Learners practice their speaking in a non threatening environment. It is also great practice for the speaking section of the WIDA test.
I could talk about Flipgrid for hours, but I'll write some other posts about it later to keep this short and sweet. Trust me.... go check it out and head on over to Twitter and see how other teachers are using it by searching for #flipgridfever !
