Flipgrid

 This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PPT about previous T3PP results. Specifically, Flipgrid in the hardware list. 

Flipgrid is a website that does video discussion boards. This tool will be best for older grades. I really enjoy this you create your own class, so the videos your students are making are private between those you allow to access your classroom. This is such fun way to get the content, and check for understanding from your students. Giving the students a little bit of diversity and creativity in their assignments is going to be more engaging for your students. This is such a useful tool, and super simple to use as a teacher and a student. 

   Flipgrid relates to the seven events of learning technologies. It is a part of event number five, eliciting desired behaviors. By using Flipgrid you are expecting your students to show what they have learned by creating videos and responding to their peers' videos. This is going to show us as teachers what your students have retained throughout the unit. 

    Flipgrid can also fit into the sixth event of learning, providing feedback. The students are responding to each other's posts as well as the teacher's initial post.
