Manage episode 322097849 series 3089951
Last week, I introduced Flipgrid and demonstrated how to get started with groups, topics, and some of the unique features of the camera and the effects drawer. This week's newsletter is all about ideas for using Flipgrid in the classroom. The newsletter starts by introducing the Discovery Library and how to add pre-created topics to your library. After introducing the Discovery Library, I found nine ideas from Edutopia for incorporating Flipgrid into the classroom. Matt Miller, from Ditch that Textbook, provides an index to 50+ ideas for incorporating Flipgrid into your classroom. Finally, Holly Clark, from the Infused Classroom, has a handful of ideas for users at various comfort levels and age levels when using Flipgrid in the classroom.
In TikTok Tech, @teachersresourceforce will show you a website that will deliver daily morning meetings right to your inbox with zero prep. While the website does have a cost, Slides Mania does have free templates you can download if you would like to create your own morning meeting slides. In Tech Refresh, Jesse Bastarache, from @jess_rehearsal, will show you how to use icons to make them look like you have infinitely cloned them for students to use in different activities on Google Slides. If you are looking for icons to use you can find them at the Noun Project or Flaticon. You can also install the add-ons in Google Slides to pull in icons without leaving your Slides.
