I created a grid with 15 different topics. Each topic was a math review questions. I divided my class into 2 teams and then split the teams into partners. Students worked with their partners to solve the problem and create a video response to the problem. As they finished they came up to me ( I was set up with my iPad and headphones, so no one else could here the responses) and I viewed their video. If it was the correct they got to put a chip in the giant for their team Tic Tac Toe game. The goal was to get be the first team to get four in a row.

If you haven't heard of Flipgrid is a FREE video response platform where educators can have online video discussions with students or other educators. Teachers can provide feedback to students AND better yet students can provide feedback to one another. With Flipgrid you get unlimited grids, topics, responses, and replies to responses. You can definitely do a TON with the free version so check that out first and if you decide to take it further then you can look into getting a classroom account. Check out more info on the differences and how to get started Flipgrid yet then you will soon be seeing it everywhere. I had my first experience with Flipgrid on March 2nd in a #Ditchbook chat. I was hesitant to try it out and almost skipped the chat because I wasn't sure about trying to learn how to use yet another tool at 7pm on a Thursday night. However, here. Matt Miller and my Ditchbook pals Sandy Otto and Craig Klement assured me it was easy peasy and I decided to try it out. Boy am I sure glad I did!

It really IS as easy as 1-2-3 to
My first few experiences with Flipgrid were in an educational chat setting where a group of educators from all over the country shared ideas and inspired one another online. I have become so excited about using it with students and other educators that I have become a Flipgrid Ambassador. But don't take my word for it, check it out and try it yourself!
get started using Flipgrid with your class.
1. Create a discussion board and share the link with your class. (With the classroom account you can embed fully functional Flipgrid cards or a grid in Google Classroom, Haiku, Blackboard, Canvas, Schoology along many other sites or in an LMS)
2. Students record their video (Flipgrid can be used on ANY device)
3. You and your students reply to one another and take the discussions further.

So how can you use the Flipgrid with your class? Here are 15 ideas for using this video platform in your classroom. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. Want to check out even MORE ideas for using Flipgrid inside and outside of the classroom? These amazing posts by
Reading response goes digital. After your class reads an article, chapter or book have them respond to a question about their reading. Take the conversation further by having students comment on each other's responses.
End of year (semester) reflection. What better way to say goodbye than to have your students record a video reflecting on their learning over the course of your class? (I'm pretty sure many of these would require a box of tissues for those tear-jerker posts!)
Advice to next year's class. How cool is it to have a Flipgrid of advice videos from your current students to show next year's class? Check out this End of Year Reflection HyperDoc and link a Flipgrid in the share section.
Debate a topic! Add a Flipgrid to the share section of this " Great Debate" HyperDoc by Show what you know! Choice and voice are so important for getting students to share their knowledge with us. What better way to do that then to add Flipgrid as an option in a Show What You Know BINGO board? Reflect on a lesson or unit. Seems simple but having your students reflect on a lesson is great feedback for us as teachers. How did it go? What changes would you make? What was your favorite part? Take a look at their responses for planning next year. Rayna Freedman to get your students debating. 30-second book talk challenge. Have your students share about their favorite book in 30 seconds or less. Check out this example. Exit tickets get a makeover. Post the question "What did you learn today?" or better yet ask your students "What did you create today?" for the students to answer before leaving class.
Number talks. Have students explain their thinking and critique the reasoning of others as they work through a math problem.
Brainstorming in the Engineering Design Process. Students can jump very quickly to planning or even building before they get out their ideas in a brainstorming session. Slow them down a bit and capture their thinking as they throw out their ideas on Flipgrid. Add a Flipgrid to the brainstorm portion of this Intro to Engineering Design Process HyperDoc. Put a spin on student of the week. Have each student record a video sharing why that student of the week is special. Students will enjoy watching video messages from their classmates sharing why they are a valued member of their classroom community.
Reboot your standard biography report. My friend Sean Fahey had the fabulous idea to use Welcome back to school Flipgrid style. Have all staff record a welcome back message for your students at the beginning of the year. Ask a local (or national) celebrity to join in and give a shout out to your students. Nadine Gilkison's amazing Appreciation/Thank you card. After a field trip, on your admin's birthday or during Teacher or Classified Staff appreciation week have your class record their own video thank you cards. Biography Inquiry HyperDoc to teach students all about biographies. Finally, have students dress up as the person they are researching and record short presentation video. Appsmash! OK, I'm kinda cheating here since this is really WAY more than one idea but it's just too good to leave out. I have had the opportunity to connect with an incredible educator and Flipgrid Ambassador, Jornea Erwin. In this episode of Flipgrid Unplugged Jornea shares SO many ideas for how to appsmash with Flipgrid to kick it up another notch. Once you have a few Flipgrids under your belt you REALLY need to check this out! Sean Fahey and Jen Giffen are FULL of great ideas.

Catch the Flipgrid Fever! 15+ Ways To Use Flipgrid in Your Class

"How can this be used for math?" This is a question I often hear and even ask myself when it comes to using technology in the classroom.

In today's math classrooms, we need students to develop a deeper understanding of the math they are learning. It's no longer about completing computational steps correctly. Math today should involve more reasoning, explaining, and students communicating their understanding of the concepts being learned.

Flipgrid is perfect for this! As described on the website, "Flipgrid is a video discussion community for your classroom that supercharges your students' voices. You add the topics, your students respond with short videos, and everyone engages!"

After discovering Flipgrid as an 4th grade teacher & teaching all subjects, the following year I was moving to teach 6th grade math. So, I immediately asked the question, "How I could use Flipgrid in my math classroom?"

Well, the possibilities are probably endless, first I had ten, but now here are 13 ideas I brainstormed to use Flipgrid with math that can help us get started.

1. Would you rather...? Have seen co-author www.wouldyourathermath.com ? It's a website put together by Classroom Chef John Stevens. On the site are tons of scenarios posted that challenge the students to think, solve some math, choose a path and justify their reasoning. The best part is that new ones are continuously added and you can search them by categories!

2. Get families involved . An amazing math teacher I met through Flipgrid, Jennifer Saarinen, takes advantage of this platform to have her students' families record responses and solve math problems and learn with the students. For example, She shared with me how when introducing percentages, she created a topic to have family members describe how they use and interact percentages at work, in their daily lives, and the solve a math problem involving percentages with the student. This example leads me on to number ten...

3. Share real world math experiences . Math is all around us! The more and more students can relate the things they are learning in math to their lives the better. Use Flipgrid and have students share their math experiences that happened outside of the classroom. They can share how they figured out if the had enough money to spend. Have them talk about what measurements they used when cooking a recipe. What angles did they notice at the playground? One of my favorite ways to begin the school year is reading the book to my students and have them create their own Math Curse stories. If you do this, students could add their Math Curse questions to Flipgrid for their classmates to answer. Math Curse

4. Think, Notice, Wonder. I discovered think, notice, and wonder after reading this blog post. It is another great way to get students to share their mathematical thinking and connections. You provide students with an image prompt and they share what they think, notice, and wonder. The responses don't always have to be math related because the goal is to get students to practice explaining their reasoning and understanding. This strategy is also a great way to help students write about their math. After writing down their response, they can share that via Flipgrid.

5. Which One Doesn't Belong. I discovered WODB, through the mathupmath.com website. In a blog post here is how they describe how WODB works. " Instead of working on practice problems during a lesson's warm-up, students will observe and reflect upon a graphic displaying four images. They will then apply their mathematical and reasoning skills to decide which of the four items does not belong and also justify why their choice is valid." To me the incredible thing about using WODB prompts there isn't one correct answer. As long as a students make a valid and justifiable answer they are correct. So when answers are shared it generates a fantastic mathematical discussion that can use up an entire class period. Add one of these prompts to a Flipgrid topic and watch the conversation flourish. There is also the wodb.ca website that has ready to use prompts as well.

6. . It's a simple yet genius idea to help students focus on different aspects of a math problem than just solving them because the answer is included. Now students must explain the how, why, process, etc.. behind the solution. Adding a prompt like this to Flipgrid will give all students to share their understanding, learn from others, and dive deeper into mathematical reasoning. You can find a slide deck with "Convine me that" prompts Convince me that. These are a series of teacher created prompts that I first saw started and shared on Twitter by math teacher Daniel Kaufmann here.

Again these are just some possible ways I've brainstormed to use Flipgrid to enhance the mathematical discussion and learning in my classroom. For more amazing ways to use Flipgrid to enhance your math lessons check out the Topic Discovery Library. This is where teachers are sharing the topics they have used in class. Also be sure the check out the #flipgridfever community on Twitter. There are always innovative ideas on how to incorporate this great tool in your classroom.
