Flipgrid is a website which also has a mobile app for your phone. It is a video chat program. It allows students to record videos that are under 5 minutes in length as well as view and reply to other student videos. It's just another way to reflect and show student learning, build community, and practice academic SPEAKING - a big requirement of our new skills guidelines this year.
Formative is a bulletin board website. Teachers can post questions, and students can post responses. This is a great way to get feedback and share information.
IXL is a website where teachers can assign lessons on mechanics, grammar, and other mechanics of reading and writing. It will be assigned as independent work to be done by students as homework.
