Session Agenda

• Let’s get started by going back in time.

​

• Learn how to use Flipgrid to amplify student voices in and out of school.

​

• Gain ideas on how to create opportunities for students to show their thinking and ideas, to speak and share their voices and to be heard by their peers and beyond!

How it started...

Ask yourself:

What do I want my students to do?

• Talk about their math thinking, reasoning and solutions.
• Review peer responses and provide feedback.
• Reflection on progress made on goals (academic, emotional, personal).
• Have math conversations with their parents!
• Have a dialogue with peers who are not in their class (section).
• “I need help, I can help.”
• Student created mini-lessons for others.
• “If you can think it, you can Flipgrid it,” Jornea, an Education Innovation Lead @ Flipgrid.

Take Advantage of the Discovery Library!

Encourage students to use their voice!

• Provide examples - be silly, make mistakes!
• Record with a peer.
• Option to record screen only with student voices still spoken.
• Use mic-mode
• App-smash
• Use regularly so that positive habits are formed.
• Fun topics (morning meeting, homeroom, advisory) to encourage sharing.
