See for yourself.
How could I use it effectively in the classroom?
1. Tuning the whole class in with an essential question prompt.
"What does active learning look like?" Flick me your response.
You can broadcast the one questions to all students, or allocate different questions to different groups
by directing your flick.
i.e.
"What does active learning look like?"
"What does active learning sound like?"
"What does active learning feel like?"
The end result...
A teacher's computer screen filled with digital sticky notes of student ideas, thoughts and insights
projected instantly to the whole class.
- Better for the environment
- All invaluable ideas can backed up easily using iCloud.
-Won't be blown away by the air conditioning...
Differentiating learning focus/ questions/ instructions for individual/ small groups in a nonthreatening way.
-Providing sentence starters.
"I will always remember the time when..."
Finish this sentence in your writing journal.
-Thinking prompts.
-Behavior reminders in a non- public forum.
