On Friday, I was so pleased to be able to return to one of my favorite days of the year, High-Interest Day at Brookfield Elementary School. This is a day where I have been able to bring the concepts of physics to k-5 graders. You may be asking yourself, "Elementary students doing physics?" YES! Not just experimenting, but understanding the concepts behind the physics of electricity and sound. This is a very special day I have had the opportunity to be involved in since 2017. So, how are we able to bring the concepts of electricity and sound traditionally taught to high school 11th and 12th graders to the elementary level? There are a few keys 1) make it a hands-on experience 2) remove the mathematical calculations and make it practical. In the past, I had the luck of bringing a handful of my physics students with me to guide the elementary students through the concepts that they had learned over the course of the year. But in my new role as a Teaching and Learning Speciali
In August of 2019, Flipgrid launched a bunch of new options to their camera. These include adding text to videos, live drawing, uploading images, editing multiple clips together, camera filters, and whiteboard background. The updates are amazing! If you and the learners in your classroom haven't tried them yet, you need to get on it.
Flipgrid has added some updates to the camera since August. So, I've updated my original guide to reflect those changes. Please click here to get access to the guide.
I have also taken the annotated screenshots and put them into a slide deck if you are interested in training students or staff in how to use the new camera. Please feel free to make a copy of the slide deck and edit to your liking.
I hope you find these resources useful. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
