Goals
GOALS & AGENDA
- Identify ways to use images and
video in online courses
- Experiment with online video as
a tool for differentiating instruction
○ Record a video response as a student ○ Create a grid and topic as a teacher

Community in Online Courses
- Creating collegial spaces between students
- Enhances student engagement which is pivotal for success in online learning
environments
The importance of discussion
- Often simulated and rely too heavily on reading and writing through discussion
boards
- Online tools provide ways to engage in more authentic discussion that supports
student learning
Setting the stage
- Instructor videos:
○ Humanize the teacher “behind the scenes” in online courses ○ Provide modeling for student use of different modes of communication (video, audio, narrated PPT, Flipgrid, etc.)
Using Images
- Is an easy place to start!
- Students can use smartphones, tablets, computer cameras to capture photos and
post to assignments or discussion boards
- Helps students to feel like a real person in their online community while also
beginning to navigate the use of technology functions
- Helps instructors use checks for understanding that also ease the grading
demands of online courses
Using Video
- Provides an opportunity to support different modes of expression (UDL)
- Allows students to engage with each other in more authentic ways (moves away
from reading and writing focused discussion boards)
- QuickTime screen recordings (Macs)
- Camera Tool or Windows Media Player (PCs)
- FlipGrid*
FlipGrid: What my students say...
"I wasn't sure what to think of them at first, but I enjoy seeing the faces of my classmates and listening to their input rather than relying on the discussion board." "The Flipgrids make me more accountable for the content that I produce. At first, I was hesitant to be on camera and I felt awkward but that has since melted away." "I enjoy doing the Flipgrid entrance tickets. I get to see everyone's face that is in our
- class. I think of it as a way for everyone to express their opinion as opposed to being
called upon and only a few students expressing their thoughts. I like that we can be fun with it by adding stickers. I also enjoy responding to my peers.”
Flipgrid Lingo: GRIDS
Grids: A Grid is your community of learners or online “classroom” space where you and your students meet. You will name your Grid (Ex: EDUC 2190) and can either create a custom “Flip Code” or use the auto-generated one provided to share with students so they can find the grid.
Flipgrid Lingo: TOPICS, RESPONSES, REPLIES
Topics: Topics are discussion starters or prompts you create using questions, images, readings, or video. You can also give students a flip code to each topic or provide a link. Responses: These are the videos that students record to answer or address teacher Topics. Replies: Replies allow students to “reply” to the Topic response of peers (if activated).

Experiment with Flipgrid...
AS STUDENT:
GO TO: FLIPGRID.COM INPUT FLIP CODE: ctl2019 ENTER PASSWORD: Flipgrid (cap sensitive) Create video response to prompt and/or leave video reply to fellow workshop members Note: You will need to download app if using your phone or tablet Also: you will need an email to submit videos
AS TEACHER:
GO TO: ADMIN@FLIPGRID.COM CREATE EDUCATOR ACCOUNT USING EMAIL CREATE A GRID CREATE A TOPIC If time, RECORD A TEACHER VIDEO and/or MODEL And SHARE...
