Evaluation:`

Flipgrid can engage students in class discussions and activities by allowing them to express
their ideas and opinions more effectively. It can allow students and teachers to collaborate
by allowing them to create, share and comment on video discussions. It can help
personalize learning experiences by allowing teachers to give students more control over
their learning by encouraging them to share their perspectives and ideas. Flipgrid can
provide an accessible learning environment for students with disabilities or difficulty
communicating verbally.

Professional Advice:

When implementing new tools in the classroom, it is important to provide clear guidelines
and expectations for using Flipgrid, including how long videos should be and how students
will be graded. Flipgrid allows students to engage in thoughtful discussion, share their
perspectives and ideas, and provide feedback to their peers. It is important to plan for
technological issues. I provide alternative options for students who cannot use Flipgrid,
such as a written assignment or in-person discussion.

Overview:

Flipgrid is a video discussion platform that encourages engagement and collaboration in the
classroom. It allows teachers and students to create and share videos on various topics,
which can be used to facilitate classroom discussions, assignments, and assessments.
Flipgrid also provides tools for feedback and assessment, allowing teachers to provide
personalized feedback and evaluate student performance based on their video responses.
It provides a platform for students to express their perspectives and ideas. It is designed to
enhance student learning by providing an interactive platform for discussion, collaboration,
and feedback. Flipgrid empowers students to take ownership of their learning and contribute
to a more inclusive and diverse classroom community.
