FLIPGRID is a great way to give your students the opportunity to share their voice.
And it's free!
Below is an example of a shared grid of tutorials for "appsmashing." So not only will you see what it looks like, but you can see some other cool edtech ideas for your classroom, many with tools available to us!
How would this look in Kindergarten and 1st Grade? The following is actually a video of 2nd Grade students in Michigan using FLIPGRID, but the ideas can be applied in younger grades as well.
Have students share something about themselves
Have students set personal goals
Have students make their own hypotheses before a science experiment
Parent Conference Self-Evaluation
Book Reviews
Ask students what they are wondering about a topic before you begin and review them after the lesson
Read a book to share a talking library (1st grade could make a talking library for kinders!)
Reading Fluency Records
Speech and Language progress
Formative assessment - checking for student understanding
Data for Conferences
Introduce the staff to the community
Collect and share lesson ideas amongst staff
Window into classrooms
Student of the week or month
Student news reports
