🗣Class Conversations ~ Student Voice 📣

Who has the Fever for amplifying student voice?! Hopefully that's a fever
that never goes away! One tool that we shared out a bit last year
was FlipGrid. ~It's a powerful tool to add to your toolbox for awesome
classroom conversations and to empower student voice (literally!). Give your
students the reins across their learning journeys and watch them soar.

The possibilities for implementation are endless and you can go as far and wide as
you want with it. Spark conversations solely within your class, at-home with families
or connect your students with others outside your classroom! They even have
#GridPals (video pen-pals) to knock down the walls of your classroom and connect your students with the world.

FlipGrid keeps evolving ~ There is a huge library of templates that you can grab
and push right out to your kiddos to spark a conversation! You can even share your own topics to the library as well. Check out this link for implementation ideas K-8 and across the curriculum (DIY recording booth examples too)! Double-click within the Padlet to share your own links and ideas as well....

As with any "online" adventures that your students embark, have a conversation
beforehand about expectations as Digital Citizens using the communication
tool. The time spent up front having the conversation saves a ton
of management issues later.

As always, Take or Toss ~ Let us know if you want to explore anything together and get
that fever rockin.
