Flipgrid TST

Here we are!  The last TST of the summer season, and it's a fun one!  Flipgrid is such a great way to engage students in a fun way and get them talking.  Start with some "low cognitive load" tasks to play with the tools.  Prompts like "what is the best vegetable" a "would you rather" will get them playing.  As they learn the tools, give an academic prompt.  Flipgrid is great for vocabulary practice or other ELD skills, reading reflection, content questions that have open ended answers.

Here are the slides for our TST today. (Google Slides)

Want to try it out?  Use this link to our trial Flipgrid-- it's the one that I emailed participants. Open link by clicking here or on an iPad, use join code 1bda5eec in the app. Sign in with your Google Account and give it a try!  I dare you! (Hueneme teachers only)

So, as I keep wresting with the most efficient way to get answers and share resources, a blog seems to be the thing that makes the most sense.  Sending tech newsletters is good, but it is hard to refer back to.  Answering emails is great, but that means helping one person at a time. Sometimes that is necessary, and I do love email, but maybe pointing you to a blog post will help get all the info you need efficiently-- without the email back and forth conversation. But.... I'm not a blogger.  Yet.  Darn that growth mindset... So, here is my suggestion--- subscribe to the blog and you will get emails when I put up a post.  I promise I will make the post titles clear and not fancy so you will know if it is useful to your or not.  If it is, read it!  If it isn't, delete the email and move on.   Do I know how you subscribe to the blog?  N...

Howdy!  It seemed like such a cool idea to have a quick comparison of Google Meet and Zoom, and then I realized it is a lot to get my head around!
