(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.

- Kellie and I both use Classcraft very differently in our classrooms, so between the two of us, we will be presenting how two different educators can use Classcraft accomplish their goals.
- 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.
