FACULTY INSPIRATION
"I wanted to let you know I used Flipgrid with my SAT 495 hybrid course this semester for the first time, which was encouraged by the “Six Small Things for Big Impact” handout, and it worked out very well! I asked students to create an introduction video and was pleased with the results. One, it helped me get to know students, even though I’ve had many of the students in a previous semester, and two, it was an excellent resource to share with them as pre-service teachers. Only one of my 46 students had used it before and we talked about how it could work well in elementary classrooms.
So thanks for encouraging me to try something new!"
Sarah Tate, Elementary Social Studies Affiliate Professor, Grand Valley State University
