Looking Back at 10 years of EdCamps Oh how the time flies, EdCamp Madison is turning 10 this year! It will be held Saturday, February 3rd at Sun Prairie West High School. Which can be found at 2850 Ironwood Drive in Sun Prairie Wisconsin from 8:30 am - 3:00 pm. Get more information and register here: https://sites.google.com/sunprairieschools.org/edcampmadwi/home I will always remember sitting in my first EdCamp opening session at the very first EdCamp Madison and having no clue what I was in for. So, I’d like to take this space to go over some of the basic rules of EdCamp. No One Will Pitch It for You EdCamps are unconferences. By this I mean that they have a blank slate of sessions for the day. There may be a few predetermined sessions, but ultimately the session topics are determined by attendees during the pitch & plan session that opens the day. If an idea gets pitched there will be a session on it. If a topic doesn’t get pitched, there won’t be a session on it. So, it i
This is an updated post from December 2017 that includes grading in Speedgrader!
I am really loving the Flipgrid app in Canvas. Why?
- It allows students to access class grids right from Canvas without having to share out links or codes.
- It allows me to create a Flipgrid response as a Canvas assignment.
- Students can turn in assignments as a Flipgrid response.
- With Speedgrader in Canvas, I can quickly see who has and hasn’t responded to a Flipgrid just like any other assignment submitted to Canvas.
- With Speedgrader, I can score assignments from a desktop, laptop, or mobile device.
Part 1: Set-up
So, I wanted to share out how to easily add it to your canvas course. If the GIFs are too small for you, I created a quick video below.
From Setting in Canvas, go to the Apps tab.
This sets up a specific Flipgrid for your course. The Flipgrid can then be accessed via the side navigation by you or students.
Part 2: Create an Assignment
Students can easily submit their assignment directly to Flipgrid from the assignment page.
Part 3: Speedgrader
The power of SpeedGrader is being able to quickly view, comment, and record student scores.If you are on the assignment page just click Speedgrader or if you click it in your To Do List, it'll take you directly there.
From this window, you can see who has yet to submit, which have been assessed, which have yet to be assessed. If a student turns in a new submission, you will be alerted of that too. You can score based on a rubric created in Flipgrid or one created in Canvas.
But wait, there's more. By using the Canvas Teacher Mobile app, you can view, comment, and score Flipgrid submissions on your phone!
The great thing about creating an assignment in Flipgrid is that it allows other students to view and comment on submissions rather than having it simply be a creation for an audience of one. So catch the #FlipgridFever!
