Flipgrid

  Hello, my dear readers. Today I want to inform you about an incredible tool; Flipgrid. This tool is basically a video sharing platform. Teacher posts a video and students records their response to the teacher. The topic of the video depends on teacher’s preferences. For instance, teacher can ask something or something to do related to lesson, from their students and the students send their answer to teacher. In this way, they can interact with each other with video. Also, this supports the one-to-one interaction. The teacher can comment on the videos and give feedback to students. Every video is called ‘grid’. So, the grids may be used to grade the students.

  A teacher should be creative and innovator at the same time. This kind of tools help teachers to have more active lessons. Also, as a language teacher, we can use this tool to examine our students’ pronunciation of the words and their knowledge of grammar. In this way, we can find out the problems about their current learning. This kind of activities catch their attention easier. So, they do not feel they are under pressure and be more confident while speaking alone. An amazing tool for teachers!
