The goal of #wvedchat is to provide educators an opportunity to connect, share, and learn from others by engaging in conversations around issues and topics in education.
Randy - Educator, Technology Specialist, & Podcaster - Huntington, WV. Why summer is only 1 week this year because of my extended year calendar. :-( #WVEdChat
Hey #wvedchat! Michael A. from #122edchat in Chicago. Trying to remain married to @katie_abramczyk, so I have managed to schedule my tweets. It's her birthday today! This summer I am looking forward to reconnecting with the @Flipgrid Fam at Live!
Brandi- 1st Grade Teacher @CaldwellElemen in Florida!! I have lots of travel plans this summer! Iโm excited to meet up with some of my favorite people!! #WVEdChat
A1: Allow them choice in their work. Let them tell you what they learned in their own words, not by answering a multiple choice question you wrote. #ChoiceAndVoice#WVEdChat
A1: Always trying to find ways to give Ss more options in demonstrating understanding. We are in the middle of a game design challenge using @koduteam, and teaching @scratch after school. Trying to impress upon Ss that not everything has to be a paper or PowerPoint. #wvedchat
A1: I love using @Flipgrid in all subject areas to enhance S voice! ALL Ss have the opportunity to share their learning & be heard by others! Itโs great when classmates have a chance to listen & respond to each other! Authentic audience & genuine feedback! #WVEdChat
John from STL MO. 3rd grade T trying to keep up with 2 chats at once and play time with my 2 year old. But always excited for #flipgridfever talk #WVEdChat
A1: I think my ultimate goal is to get my students to the point where they are comfortable choosing how they'd like to complete a task. Whether it's paper, technology, etc. That will help them find their voice! #WVEdChat
A2: For Drama this year, we had our cast set goals, and allowed other cast members view and respond. Created accountability on our team. Looking forward to doing more with book reflections next year. #wvedchat
A2: My most favorite way to use @Flipgrid is for #globalcollaboration learning challenges! We love creating tasks & learning with our #gridpals! Itโs an authentic audience & provides opportunities for connecting/learning w/ others around the ๐! #WVEdChat
Love this, Linda! Right now, my students are completing animal research projects. They've completed the writing, and now are working on a presentation - either @DoInkTweets, @Buncee, @BookCreatorApp, Shadow Puppets, and more...all app smashed into @Flipgrid! #WVEdChat

A2. As have their own grid shared w parents for weekly reflection. Also used it to see Ss rehearsals for project when I had to be out day before live shows. #WVEdChat
A2 We've used Flipgrid to record our learning goals. We also using it daily for a Reading Check In: they read a couple of pages and recording their reading connections #WVEdChat
A2: Yesterday, I made "fake" text messages, then app smashed them into @Flipgrid, and had the kids try draw conclusions from the vague messages. #WVEdChathttps://t.co/CZ0vXhjfuh
Q3: One of @Flipgridโs goals is to create a community where students can go to share ideas and learn together. What is one way that you build community in your classroom? #WVEdChat@sdtitmas@FriendsinFourth
A3: In our Lab, we like sharing out successes of others via Twitter and in person. We often times will stop groups and have people come by to experience the good that is being produced. We are very generous about encouraging others and offering praise. #wvedchat
A3 We participated in the World Record Wednesday, community on a global scale ๐they โค๏ธ it. I want to participate in #GridPals too ๐ #WVEdChat
A3: I allowed my students to have flexible seating and the ability to move freely so that they could seek out others who shared common interests in their work. It allowed them to collaborate easily! #WVEdChat
A3: I provide many opportunities for collaboration within my classroom & beyond our 4 walls! Itโs been a year full of connecting & learning together! My Ss know & believe we are a family! #WVEdChat
A4: We have not shared the @Flipgrid love with the community, but with a student population that has many connections overseas this would be an excellent avenue to explore. Having the power to share experiences with those half a world away is a game changer. #wvedchat
A4: @Flipgrid could prove to be an amazing tool for parents/community members to provide feedback for student performances in the arts. They could provide uplifting messages to athletic programs. A great way for the school to collect solid feedback from them! #WVEdChat
A4 We haven't used it with our families yet but it could be used as a Home Share platform. Where kids Flipgrid they favs from the day and share them at home. Good discussion prompts instead of we didn't do anything at school today ๐ #WVEdChat
A4: Weโve had @Flipgrid set up at school family night events so Ps & Ss could respond throughout the evening! Additionally, weโve created grids & asked the school community to respond to various ?s over the course of the year! #WVEdChat
A4 Create a Grid where Ts can introduce themselves at the start of the school year. Puts lots of anxious little minds at ease being able to see and hear their new teacher before the first day! ๐ @Flipgrid#WVEdChat
A3: I provide many opportunities for collaboration within my classroom & beyond our 4 walls! Itโs been a year full of connecting & learning together! My Ss know & believe we are a family! #WVEdChat
A5: Getting to know staff grids. Share this with the students. They need to see the teachers as people as well. Humanizing leaders has the power to impact the classroom climate. #wvedchat
Okay, epic fail #WVEdChat ! I went to our TOY ceremony and have absolutely 0 service. Big shout out to @FriendsinFourth + @MrMerrillsClass for carrying the team (though, this is typical)
A5 I love seeing teacher introductions before school starts. Itโs a great way to put parents and students at ease during an anxious period. #WVEdChat
A5: I plan to have @Flipgrid set up at orientation so Ps can leave 1st day GOOD LUCK wishes & Ss can share what they are most excited to learn about! During 1st week, Ss will use @Flipgrid for get to know you activities & interview ?s! #WVEdChat
A5: #wvedchat Last year's sophomore summer assignment included a discussion question on @Flipgrid. First week, they had to reply to a classmate's post.

@FriendsinFourth, @Flipgrid, @Flipgrid
A5: I am currently having the students records messages, watch out for, what you need to know, etc. videos for my upcoming students to watch in the fall at Meet the Teacher. #wvedchat
A5/2: #wvedchat Last year's senior summer assignment asked them to introduce themselves to the class on @Flipgrid. First week, they had to watch and take a quiz where they told me three new things they learned about their classmates.

A6 Flipgrid can be used for anything. There are no rules! I enjoyed having students demonstrate/teach difficult math concepts on Flipgrid. #FlipgridFever#wvedchat
A6: I like posing HOT questions that Ss have to respond to! The beauty of having them use @Flipgrid is you can see the wheels spinning as they formulate their answers! Also, I love giving them challenges that cause them analyze & predict! #WVEdChat

A5 I used a @Flipgrid so each student could tell me their first & last name & class period. Plus, I had all Ss read one page of their current book, so I had an instant fluency level & it helped me get to know them, a bit as readers. #WVEDchat
I moderated this grid in the settings so it was visible only by me, for privacy. Iโm redoing the same @Flipgrid this week to document year end growth & comparison. #WVEdchat
