Evaluating Technology by Tammy Dayton https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d My evaluation of FlipGrid en-us 2018-03-13 19:04:01 UTC 2018-03-19 13:27:06 UTC hello@padlet.com How does the technology tool help students focus on the learning goals (content) with less distraction(s)? tammy_dayton https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/241587583 Flipgrid is empowering. The children can use their voice to show understanding. Each child wants to talk and teach. It is natural for them to share what they have learned, but most do not have a person to sit down and listen to them.]]> 2018-03-13 19:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/241587583 FlipGrid tammy_dayton https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/241587717 2018-03-13 19:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/241587717 How does the technology motivate students to start the learning process? tammy_dayton https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242398573 Students are able to share what they have learned in a fascinating, new way. They are as excited about innovation as their teachers.]]> 2018-03-15 14:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242398573 How does the technology cause a shift in the behavior of the students, where they move from passive to active social learners (through co-use or co-engagement)? tammy_dayton https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242398630 I think children feel involved through flipgrid. Because of the involvement in a problem - solution type activity, they move to active learners.]]> 2018-03-15 14:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242398630 How does the technology tool allow students to develop or demonstrate a more sophisticated understanding of the learning goals or content (use higher-order thinking skills)? tammy_dayton https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242399836 The students can use it for global learning. As a science teacher, I try to think of ways to share their designs and observations. I could use flipgrid to link to other classes and their research projects. Students can use the expressive and receptive functions to share ideas.]]> 2018-03-15 14:52:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242399836 How does the technology create supports (scaffolds) to make it easier to understand concepts or ideas (e.g. differentiate, personalize, or scaffold learning)? tammy_dayton https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242400002 Students can state the concept, describe a concept, discuss or explain it. Students can use the flipgrid videos as a portfolio to show where they were to where they are now.]]> 2018-03-15 14:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242400002 How does the technology create paths for students to demonstrate their understanding of the learning goals in a way that they could not do with traditional tools? tammy_dayton https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242400532 Again, globally. When I began to research FlipGrid, I found a global resource for World Water Day. This would work for my science students. I love the collaboration part.]]> 2018-03-15 14:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242400532 How does the technology create opportunities for students to learn outside of their typical school day? tammy_dayton https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242401249 I think with the feedback that teachers give students will cause the students to feel motivated to continue outside of the classroom. Especially, if they have a passion about an issue that began in class. For example, water purification from the World Water Day lesson]]> 2018-03-15 14:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242401249 How does the technology create a bridge between students' school learning and their everyday life experiences (connects learning goals with real life experiences)? tammy_dayton https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242401313 Feedback. Children will need feedback and FlipGrid is an excellent way to provide it.]]> 2018-03-15 14:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242401313 How does the technology allow students to build authentic life soft skills, which they can use in their everyday lives. tammy_dayton https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242401886 Collaboration with other students around the world.]]> 2018-03-15 14:55:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tammy_dayton/wbkr3ffyk58d/wish/242401886
