Flipgrid Integration in the Middle School

Many teachers in the Middle School use Flipgrid, which “is a (free) website that allows teachers to create “grids” to facilitate video discussions. Each grid is like a message board where teachers can pose questions, called “topics,” and their students can post video responses that appear in a tiled grid display.”  https://www.commonsense.org/education/website/flipgrid

Here are some examples Flipgrid integration around the Middle School.

In 6th grade World Cultures Mr. Ripley-Moffitt and Mrs. Levinthal used a fiipgrid discussion board for students to respond to two short videos introducing an asynchronous  lesson on The Cultural Revolution in China.

In Mr. RM’s classes the students were asked to respond to, Why do think that Chairman Mao said. “a revolution is not a dinner part”?

Here are links to their responses:

 

7th Grade Science

Students have created projects on 6 different air quality issues:  acid rain, hazardous air pollutants, ozone layer depletion, transportation, visibility, and wildfires/open burning.  They chose their format and students have made models, dioramas, board games, picture books, cartoons, interactive PowerPoints, websites, etc.  They recorded their presentation of their project using Flipgrid.  Students then watched 1 project from the 5 other topics that they didn’t do their project on and replied with 2 things they learned from each presentation and 2 things they liked about each presentation.
