Denk_Flipgrid

=Welcome = =to = =Flipgrid = ||  ||  || ||  || My name is Joellen Denk and I am the school librarian at Roxboro Middle School in Cleveland Heights. I am a licensed teacher for grades 1-8, I have my Library/Media certification as well as an Ohio Reading Endorsement for K-12. This is my 18th year as a teacher or librarian. I primarily teach digital citizenship lessons to grades 6-8.

I love to find new ways to engage students in their learning. Flipgrid is a tool I discovered this year and was immediately excited to try with students. I created a free educator account and within minutes was ready to utilize the video discussion component with my sixth grade classes.

I will share a few tips I learned along the way. Flipgrid is a very easy to use digital tool designed to encourage all students to participate in the class discussion in a fun, interactive way. I hope you will give it a try! ||
 * __Project Description __ ||  || Flipgrid is a great way to incorporate video discussions into lessons. After setting up a free educator account, teachers post a prompt to spark a conversation. Students respond by recording and posting a short video. Flipgrid gives all students a chance to share their opinions in the class conversation.

The free account gives teachers access to one grid or classroom page, but an unlimited number of topics and student videos. Once the teacher creates a grid and posts a topic, a Flip Code is generated. Students go to [|www.flipgrid.com] and enter the Flip Code to get started. Students think about the question or prompt and record their answer. With the free account, student responses are limited to 90 seconds. Students have an opportunity to review their video and start over if necessary. When they are satisfied with their video, they take a selfie which serves as the image accompanying their video. Finally, they post to the classroom grid and then can view and comment on other student videos. || media type="youtube" key="ITNy8bomW_4" width="560" height="315"

Many students have excellent ideas to share, but because of a variety of reasons do not get the opportunity. Flipgrid solves this problem by giving every student the chance to share their opinion. The teachers and other students can hear from everyone and a much richer collection of ideas is recorded. ||
