Flipgrid - Empower Every Voice

Highlight STUDENT VOICE with Flipgrid.

How do you use it? 
Simple... 

1. Teachers assign a question and/or topic.  
2. Students respond with a short video (max 1.5 minutes).
3. Teachers and students can then further engage through comments or response videos.  

Visit the Flipgrid website and see just how easy it is to get started.  

Hyperdocs

Looking for a transformative way to deliver the curriculum in a blended classroom?

As stated on the Hyperdoc website: 

Hyperdocs are created by teachers and given to students to engage, educate, and inspire learning. It’s not about teaching technology, it’s about using the technology to TEACH.

Check out these examples created by our own WECDSB staff:

Kelly Campbell-Dries, English Teacher at Assumption High School shared her  "highlight" HyperDoc designed to teach students to write a CER essay (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning).   Kelly shares the document using the "Make A Copy" feature in Google Classroom allowing each student to work directly their Hyperdoc.




Kelly introduced the Hyperdoc using this video: 

Kelly's self-reflection:  I used this with my class and they LOVED it. When teaching college classes I try to prepare my students for a blended learning experience. Hyperdocs offer this to students in many ways. I really like how we start with the learning goals for the lesson and then explore the topic.
