5 Ways to Appsmash Flipgrid and Boclips

I am flipping over Flipgrid with Boclips! I want to share some of the #flipgridfever and this is a fever you will want to catch. Below are my top 5 ways to appsmash Flipgrid and Boclips.

1. 3-2-1 Strategy

Students watch a Boclips video, then reflect using a 3-2-1 strategy. Students will write three things they learned, ask two questions, and share one thing they really enjoyed. Using the printable 3-2-1 Strategy worksheet, students will record talking points to share on a Flipgrid.

2. Debate a Topic

Students watch a Boclips video or two on a specific topic and gain the helpful knowledge to set up a debate. This can include the pros and cons or compare and contrast around nearly any topic. Whether a historic event or a current event, a Venn Diagram is an easy way to record thoughts and ideas as they view and prepare their debate response on Flipgrid.

3. Noticing and Wondering

With guidance from a teacher, or during genius hour, students document what they've noticed and what they've wondered throughout viewing.

4. Virtual Greeting Card

Find a video collection that honors or shares the accomplishments of a particular field. For example, advancements and accomplishments within the field of engineering, students create a virtual greeting card using Flipgrid for a particular educator or person in the field that has made contributions.

5. 30 Second Video Talk Challenge

Students select their favorite boclips video within a unit of study. They answer the challenge to talk for 30 seconds about the video on Flipgrid.
