(C1) Flipping Out
Flipgrid is a powerful media tool that allows students to present in a safe online format. Flipgrid can be used to share, and teachers can set specific parameters and specifications. Students are even able to provide feedback by “dropping the mic” and respond to their peers’ videos. Teachers are able to “spark” videos and engage in a feedback process all through the Flipgrid interface. Flipgrid has many uses in the classroom like a quick exit ticket or an in depth analysis, and it is great for all grade levels.

- We will be giving away free resources / stickers / posters / free premium account
- I will also be giving away links to tons of Classcraft (Random Events, Quests, and Boss Battles) that I have made that are aligned with 4th and 5th grade VBOs.
- Learn how to use Classcraft to get students to work together to manage your room for you with Tools like: Volume Meter, Random Name/Team generator, and Countdown clocks.
- Learn how to use Classcraft as a PBIS tool to build a community in your class that gains points to use toward in-game and real-world rewards.

I will be submitting a second proposal for a session I would like to teach that will be a good commercial for this session as a follow up. In my other proposal, "Going Digital with 4th and 5th Grade Content," I will be sharing ways to teach and review science and social studies VBOs with many different digital strategies and tools. One of these will be with Classcraft, so it would work out great if this came after, so I could steer people toward this session on how to get set up with Classcraft. I would even be willing to do the both sessions back to in the morning and the afternoon, so there would be two chances for people to do both.

(D10) Technology Tools for the Special Education Classroom
Learn how to use a variety of instructional tools to support the special education student. In this session we will highlight using the discussion board and assignment features within Schoology with your SPED students as well as creating grading groups to assign audio online to students by subject, and how to create your own audio files with a text to speech website. We will also discuss strategies with the Read & Write extension for SPED students and the Google ability to use speech to text.
