LBS 850 Week 2 Blog Post

This week in learning.....

Flipgrid.com. I learned how to navigate the very user friendly Flipgrid to record myself making a video for this class.  I liked that there was a countdown showing the time limit and thought it was fun although I don't like to watch myself in videos. Some of the ways Flipgrid could work in the classroom are: 

• in place of a traditional speaking assignment
• creating an end of year (semester) reflection
• creating an appreciation/thank you card 
• debating about a topic
• Gather opinions from students about a major event (current or historical)
• Collaboration: students can work together to create something innovative than what they may have done alone.
