I teach at the high school level, all 4 levels of ASL. I am currently the only ASL teacher at my site. I love using Flipgrid to have students record themselves signing (since there's no written language!) and using comments to have other students respond to them. I APP SMASH by using Screencastify to record myself watching their flipgrid videos while I sign back to studetns with feedback for them. ]]> 2018-10-22 19:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/295674780 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/295675579 I am a Google Certified Educator Levels 1 and 2.

I used to have students present in class live for most of their presentations because there wasn't a better way for students to share what they knew. Because studnets had such a fear of standing in front of the class, they would choose to take a zero. Now with Flipgrid, I typically get 100% participation. 

If I have students use other modes of recording and turning in their videos, they always ask if they can turn it in on Flipgrid- it's just so user friendly! ]]> 2018-10-22 19:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/295679262 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296185916 Students know that their videos will be seen by the rest of the class and that they will need to self-assess their work by watching their own videos. Students can record and re-record as many times as they need to before feeling comfortable and submitting their work. The more times they record, the more times they practice getting it right! That means by the time their work gets to me, it's already gone through several revisions!! ]]> 2018-10-23 20:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296185916 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296186821 When you post your topics, make sure to post a picture or video of yourself. If you make your students be vulnerable in posting their own faces, post yours! Have fun, too. Use a sticker or two and join in the silly! ]]> 2018-10-23 20:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296186821 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296188099 Make sure if you your domain is different than your students to include both in the "Add or edit your school email domain(s)" so that you can go to the student's view if you need to! If you don't either you or your studnets will get blocked out of the grid! ]]> 2018-10-23 20:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296188099 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296188624 This year, my students are using Flipgrid to connect with other ASL students in another city! They get to meet someone new and use the target language to learn about them and their school! Use this link to connect with other classes! 

Another idea- connect with professionals that can contribute to your lessons! ]]> 2018-10-23 20:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296188624 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296189216 2018-10-23 20:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296189216 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296189320 2018-10-23 20:33:49 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296189320 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296189352 2018-10-23 20:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296189352 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296189635 2018-10-23 20:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296189635 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296191193 2018-10-23 20:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296191193 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296191808 I use one grid for each class period, a seperate grid for #GridPals and put topics for assignments on their grids including: Warm-Ups, Signed Conversations, Student Narratives, and even Projects.]]> 2018-10-23 20:41:43 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296191808 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296192852 2018-10-23 20:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296192852 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296193342 2018-10-23 20:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296193342 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296193538 2018-10-23 20:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296193538 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296193817 2018-10-23 20:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296193817 amerrill2 https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296197676 I have students reply to themselves when they want to revise a video. Then, I can see their learning progress! They often want me to delete their older videos after they make a new draft, but it's important that they can see their growth as signers. ]]> 2018-10-23 21:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/amerrill2/nltr4v07r4qy/wish/296197676
