Flipgrid will be a very useful tool for my students to participate in assignments using their own unique responses. It will give them a chance to have fun at learning new material and lessons already taught. It will give me the opportunity to connect with my students in a way we haven’t been able to before. One of the problems when we teach virtually the students would not participate or turn their camera off. With flipgrid, they are expected to participate and I think it will be fun to change things up a little. Students are so into technology, they will feel comfortable using flipgrid.One idea I have for using Flipgrid is I will make a weekly homework assignment with a topic and they will have to complete by Friday. My Cosmetology class doesn’t off remote learning, but I feel creating a flipgrid assignment as homework, the students will complete the assignment because it is fun and they can put their own flair in their video responses. In addition, I will know it is them completing the assignment instead of just copying something off the internet.
