So the first thing that I'd like to do is share our canvas
course. And here is the enroll code. In
case you are interested in enrolling for the canvas course, all of
the information that I am sharing with you today is
here in the flip grid tab.
In order to be able to do
this integration, you do need to have a flip grid account. If you
do not have an account, please click on flip
grade. When the tabs open up, we're
going to click here on creating an account.
This is a live link. You can click on the link and it will take
you into flip grid.
From there, it's going to ask you to sign up. You want to
sign up with Microsoft office?
It'll ask you to pick an account,
and then you will fill out a quick little profile, right,
And when you have finished that you're going to
click, create an account.
When you do that, it's going to ask you to create a
grid. We're going to do that in just a few moments
together. Don't worry now, if you already have a flip
grade account, please go to your flip grid account. Now we're going to
be tumbling back and forth from canvas
and flip grid. So I'm going to go
over here and I want to go to my
dashboard. Now, if you
already have a demo course, A
sandbox. Ah, practice canvas Course. Whatever you called
it. If you already have one, we're going to be
creating the grid in there. It's always the best practice
to create something within your practice. Course
your sandbox before you put it into your actual course.
If you do not have, uh, sandbox, we're going
to create one now from your dashboard in canvas, You're going to
scroll all the way down to start a new course.
When you click, start a new course. You have to give it a name
pulling this practice flip grid, and I'm going to create my
course
if you already have a sandbox. This next step is what we're
going to be doing together this step
that I'm going to show now you Onley need to do the
first time in each canvas course.
So the first time that you are going to create a
prompt you need to add flip grid
every time After that, you can just create an assignment
within flip grid. But this step must be done in
each canvas course the very first time.
That means if you teach math and you have a math canvas,
coarse language arts with a language arts canvas course and
science with the science canvas course, you need to do
this step in each of those three courses the
very first time on Lee. Okay,
so I'm going to go to my course navigation, which
is right here on the left hand side. And we're scrolling all the
way to the bottom two settings
when the settings open up. It has five tabs right
here. We're going to click on the fourth one acts
we're going to filter by name. So right here, I'm going to start typing
inflict grid. It comes up right away. Okay,
I'm going to click on flip grade.
And now I want to add the app It's going to open
in this window. Leave that window.
Don't close it. Don't do anything to it yet. In
order to be able to get this information, we need to go into our
flip grid. So go back to your tab. that has your flip grid
all the way over here on the right hand side, up the top,
you'll find your name right next to your name is
a drop down menu. Click on the drop down
menu and click on integrations.
You'll notice it says flip, greed plus canvas, and we're going to
add a new integration. We have to give
this integration a name. And so I'm going to
call this because I'm going to do mine on the faces of them.
So I'm gonna call it the PHASES.
Uh huh, yeah,
and I'm going to click create.
Once I've done that, you'll notice that here it shows up right
here. The phases of the moon There is a consumer key
and a shared secret. This is the information that we're going to need to
add to our canvas course. So for consumer
key, I'm going to go to the word copy. When I click it, it
says copied. I'm going to come
back into my course details where it says add the
app under consumer key, I'm going to click on it, and I'm going to
control V Thio input that information in the
consumer key. I'm going to do the very same thing with a
shared secret. I'm going to go back to my flip
grid. Here's the phases of the
moon. My shared secret. I'm going to
click Copy It says copied,
coming back to my course details. And I'm going to
control the toe. Add that.
So now I have my consumer key and my shared secret.
I'm ready to add the app.
It says the app was added successfully.
Just a reminder You Onley need to do that step the
first time in the canvas course every other
time that you want to add a flip grid topic, you're going
to follow these next instructions. So I'm going to go
home.
And now I want to add a module. I'm going to create a new
module. I'm going to call this.
This whole module is going to be all about flip grade and I'm going
to add the module. Here it is.
I need to add content to the module, and in order to do that, I'm going to come
over here to the plus sign. I'm gonna add an
assignment. It's a new assignment.
I'm gonna call this one flip grid and I'll just put F
g water cycle, no
sorry phases of the moon,
and I'm going to add the item. So here's my
marker for my assignment. I know it's an assignment because
the icon here is of a paper and a pencil, but there's
no content in the assignment, so I'm going to need to edit
this ad content, so I'm clicking on it
and I'm going to click on edit. And now I'm
going to build my, um, my prompt
my assignment, just like I would with any other assignment.
This will show in all of your,
um, promise. So whatever you put here
in your rich content editor is what you're going to see for
each and every topic in this
course. So I make this very generic. I'm just
gonna right the instructions, Please
eat. Great. You don't need to write
anything at all because the instructions will be in
the topic itself. But if you want to have instructions, make sure
that you've made it very broad,
and I like to make it a little bigger so they can see it.
There we go. So now I'm going to fill out the assignment information like I
normally would. How many points
where you're putting it? I'm keeping it in assignments. It's going to be
points. The next section is the most important section on
submission type. So there are four choices no
submission online on paper and external tool.
We just added flippered as an external tool. So we're going to click on
external tool and we're going to click Find
this is going to open a new window. These air, all the external tools, they're
in alphabetical order. So we're going to scroll down a little bit to flip
grid, and here it is. We're going to click on flip grade
and select. Now I'm going to
continue filling in the rest of my information. I wanted to
sink to S, I s I want to assign it to
everyone. I'm going to give it a due date
and then at the very bottom I'm going to save and publish.
When I've done that, it's going to take me to this page.
This is the first time you do this. You're going to get
this prompt, and it says connect flip grid to
canvass, create a course grid. Remember? I
told you earlier not toe worry that it said, Create a grid. We're going to do it
together. We're doing it right now. Just click here. It's going to
automatically create a course grid for you.
And now the fun begins. This is where we as a teacher,
get to create the prompt for our students.
I like to begin with a topic focus.
I'm going to click here. The topic focuses what they're going to see right
here when they're reading their prompt. Because I'm doing the
phases of the moon. I have a lot of choices. I can record a
video giving instructions. I could read a
story to them. I could demo something here.
I can upload a video or
YouTube upload an image, a giffey or an
emoji, or you can use any of these. Resource is down
below. I personally like to add a giffey.
This is the phases of the moon.
I'm going to click neck going to show me all the images of
a phase of phases of the moon. All the gift is that they have and I will
pick the one that I like. So we have lots of different choices here
of the phases of the moon And you're going to pick the
one that you like best.
Let's do this one here. This one. When I
click on it, notice it makes a blue box around it.
I'm going to scroll down to the bottom and I'm going to click
Select. And so here is my giffey.
I'm going to scroll up to the top. I already have my title
here. I don't need to do anything there.
The prompt says this topic is automatically generated from
canvas assignment. Click the green plus to record a video and submit
your assignment. Now the first sentence doesn't make any
sense Toe have here. So I'm going to delete this.
I like to keep the second sentence because it tells the
students exactly what they need to dio. Once they read
my prompt. I like to keep that in there. At least the beginning. The
first few times that I have the students do a flip grid.
I'm going Thio. I had previously written this out so I wouldn't
have to waste time. So I'm going to come here. I'm going
to Where are my
phases of the moon? Here we go. I'm going to
copy the prompt that I have here. Yeah,
and I'm gonna paste it right where
my cursor is at the beginning.
Here is my prompt. And I've left that second sentence
telling them what to do. Please create a model of the phases of the moon. Make a
video to share and describe your model Reply to at least one
classmates, video and model. So that's what I want them to dio.
The next thing I need to do is decide how long I want to give them
in in something like this, I'm going to give them about two minutes.
If you are giving them something like an
introduction, you'll notice that there it goes from 15
seconds to 10 minutes. Ah, brief introduction could be
15 to 30 seconds. Uh, more in depth project,
like a character study where they're dressed in character and have to
present fax might take five or 10 minutes, depending
on what you think they need to dio.
Ah, word of caution. Sometimes students feel like they have to
feel that entire time, so you may need to let them
know that they're doing their presentation. And when they're finished, they
stop that they don't have to fill that time.
Video moderation. You can toggle this on
if you want to see the student videos and you want to approve them
before others can see what they've posted.
If a student creates a video and you
want to approve it, you need to approve it before other students
concede it. This would be what that means. Toddling it on. I'm going
to toggle it off. I already have my focus
topic. Tip. Sometimes people say things like, Be
sure to smile or speak slowly. It's
just a tip for the students. I am going to
be, including two attachments, so I'm going to tell them to
please have you
attachments. Yeah,
I want them to use the attachments that I'm going to put in
here to guide them when they're making their presentation now
because I've told them to use the attachments. I need to add attachments.
I can add up to nine different external
tools. External links. They do need to have a u. R L.
People often ask, Can I do a PdF or a word
document if you have it in your one drive? Yes, you can,
because here's a word document. And here
is the U R l for that. So you absolutely
can do a, uh
here. Cool. You absolutely
can do a U r l from a word
document. I wanted to do a tumble book story,
so I'm going to come back here. I had previously saved
that this is tumble book, so
I'm gonna put tumble book so they know what it is.
Add another attachment. I
want to add a near pod on the phases of the moon. So I'm going to go into
my near pod library. I had previously saved
the, um, the mirror pod
about the phases of the moon. So it's already in my
library. Here it is. I'm going
to, um I'm going to open this.
And now I know this is the one I want. I've already saved
it. Saving it again. I'm going to click on.
Usually I would click on student paste, but in this case, I want to get the
team's code. So I'm going to click on this one,
and then I'm going to click here on Microsoft teams
to get this code. Here's the
code I want I'm going to click on it
and I'm going to copy it. So now
I'm going to go back into my assignment. I'm gonna add that
link, and I'm gonna put that this was a near pod lesson.
I have two assignments to attachments that they can use.
Topic status. There are three different types of
status. You can be active, which means that the students can
see it and they can reply. Frozen means
they can see it, but they can no longer reply and
hidden. They cannot see it or reply if you
want a specific launch date. If you don't want the students to see that
until a specific date you would put that date here.
If you want to freeze it, you would put the freeze date
here. I'm launching it today
and I'm not having it frozen. I'm just gonna leave that open
the video features. So the video features
are what we're having them do with their video
at the end of their video. It asks them to snap a selfie or a
video. You can toggle. You can click on whatever you want
selfies only video on lee or none. I'm gonna leave selfies and
videos because even my adults love, um,
participating in those. So I'm leaving that with the Littles.
I'm turning off video editing because it can be very distracting for
them to start playing around with the video and changing the
format. So I turned that off. I also turn
off the title unless they're doing ah, character
study or a project on something different than the others.
Then I would leave that on if I want them to include an attachment. I
would have this toggled on, but I don't, so I'm turning it off.
The view count was very, very powerful. The
students. This is where they really feel that sense of
empowerment. I've had many times when students have come to me and
said Miss Boza, 32 people saw when I had to say,
and their excitement, um, was really what kept them so motivated.
So I leave this on like this is a personal
preference. I keep that on. The students like to see when other
people have liked their, um, their flip grid.
Some people don't like to have that on because they feel it's a popularity
contest. That's a personal choice. Sticky notes allows them
to put little sticky notes on the side while they're presenting to help
them kind of guide them and what they're saying
on DSO student to student replies, If you want them to reply to each other, you're
gonna leave this toggled on. If not, toggle it off.
I did say in my instructions that I did want them to reply, So I'm keeping
that on feedback. Right
now we have basic feedback, which are ideas and
performance. If I wanted to add more detailed
feedback, I could customize the feedback. I
could add different criteria, and
if I wanted to add something different, I would click here.
I would give it a title, a description and the amount of
points and then click create. Once I
have completed all those sections, I'm going to do update
topic and
here is my prompt. Now you as a
teacher will have access to all of these things on here.
Your students will not see that I'm going
to show you some additional features that you have available to
you right here under actions
you, as a teacher, have a few different actions that you can
dio the newest tool that
Flipkart has provided, which is wonderful is to hear
under recorder response, you can share your screen with
your students. So if you wanted to show them
Ah, math problem. If you wanted to demonstrate, um,
how to do something on the screen if you wanted
them. Thio Uh, look at something
specific on your screen. You could do it through
here when you record a response. And this is what the students are going to
see as well when they record.
So here we are. And this is what the students will
see when they're going to record their video. They'd click right here
to record it, and then it would ask them at the end to snap a
selfie or whatever it is that you, um, put on there for
them. But what I really wanted to show you is right here by the ellipsis
here, this one here. If you click on it, it's
going to tell you that there is a screen recording. The screen
recording isn't beta, which is brand new. They're still working on it.
But if you click on this, it's going to ask you
to start recording your screen. It will ask you if you
want to capture your entire screen, and then you would share it. Then your
students could see your screen and they could
follow along with whatever you're sharing with them.
So that's one of the brand new features. Um, but
I also wanted to show you here in actions under record a response
that you, for the kids that are camera shy because we often have students who are
camera shy. We could have them click a sticker
and they could pick a little sticker to put over their face if they're shy
and they could just continue talking
without anybody seeing their face so they could
do this and they would be talking. But nobody would see them,
so that's one way they could do it.
Another thing they could do is we have a white board here
and let me just get rid of this people.
Uh huh.
Okay, that's your why it's not letting me delete it.
All right, let me just move that to the side right now. Usually I can delete it. I don't know why it's
not letting me, but if I wanted to
have them show me a math problem or draw something, I would click on
board here and then I would
click. Okay, that was why way go
there so I would click on the board. I want
to do a white board and the students can. Let's say I asked them to do
a math problem two plus
two equals for so they could
show that to me right there like that.
Or they could also click on the
text, and then they could use their keyboard to do the same
thing. Two plus two
equals four. It can use that.
Also, if someone is camera shy, they could just,
um, write a message here instead for their friends.
And instead of showing their face, they could still be talking.
And instead of showing their face, it's going to show the screen. So if you have
students who are camera shy, there's lots of different options for them
and let me click out of this one. But
all of that is available through the actions, and there's a lot of other tools
in there that you can use. One of the things that I
really wanted to focus on was the immersive reader. This is a
fantastic tool. If you click on immersive
reader, and this is something you might want to share, especially with
your little that air. Just learning how to read. If they click the play
button, please create a model of the phases of the moon.
It will read it to them. Over here, the text
preferences allows them to change the size of the
text, the spacing, the font, the
theme, lots of different options on what to do with the
text. This one here, the grammar options is my favorite.
It could break words into syllables. So for Littles, who are still
Chungking words phases of the moon vivid E
Oh, it breaks the words into syllables.
You can also have them identify the announce the
verbs, adjectives, adverbs. And you can
put this show the labels. So the end for noun V for verb.
This is an activity you could do with your students as well. Um,
you could. Part of the assignment could be identify all of the names.
The last feature over here is the reading
preference. This is line focus, and it allows you to do
13 or five lines of text.
So if you just want to see one line of text. It will do
this, and it will just focus on that one line at a time.
The picture dictionary is a wonderful tool as well. So if they
didn't know what this word here waas, they could click on
it, click on it. It's going to give them
moon, the pronunciation and then some images of it.
So that's under the picture dictionary. And then finally they have
the translate. This can translate into over 70 different
languages. What a fabulous tool for our speakers of other
languages. I mean, I just They really, um this tool,
this, um, immersive reader is fantastic, and it is found in
all Microsoft office products, so I'm gonna get out of
here. The near pod lesson that I added as an
attachment is right here. They click on it and it will take
them into that lesson,
and it's gonna take them right into the lesson here.
And then the tumble book is going to take them into the tumble book
story and let
me go back on here. I needed to be signed in,
and here it is the phases of the moon. It's called the faces of the moon.
But so those to re sources are available for
the students. So this is what it would look like.
I'm going to go back into our course to show
you a few other things
that are available going back into flip
grade. We know that this page has
other things for you that you can access.
Let's go to the next page. If you want to see what it's like from a
student's perspective, you could do this. Flip grid introduction. Just
introduce yourself the instructions air right here. We'd love to
see what you have to say, so please feel free.
Next, we have some important
tips to remember before you integrate so some very important
tips. One of the most important tips to know is that you
cannot take an existing topic and integrated.
However, there is a work around to that which I'll share with you in just a moment.
The next takes you to the step by step instructions that
we've done along with visuals and
also on the next one. There is another integration with more
information for you that will walk you through those steps.
I'm going to come back to my home page. I want to show you the
student view
for my flip grid assignments.
This is what the students will see. This is the grid it created.
And here is the topic. It'll show you all the responses, and you can click the
plus Tau and your response. Over here,
you'll see that there are five topics. That means that I have in
this canvas course five different topics for the kids to respond. Thio.
And they are active because it says share your voice
so they can click on it and respond. If it were
frozen, it would not say share your voice, but they would still be
able to view it so they could go back and forth from any
of the ones that they want to right here.
Okay, I'm going to leave student view because I want to share with you
Speed greater
from Speed Grader. You can
go to the students who have done this already who have already created
it. Let's go here.
You could listen to it, put a score and
give your comment right here. If you wanted to do a video reply, you could
reply video right here, and you could click back and forth to see the
others who have responded and you could do the
same. Grade them right in here
at a comment. An attachment. You could do a video
response. So this be greater. And remember, it is we
did sink. It s I s So that's another wonderful feature.
Let me go back. And then the final
thing that I want to show you is just some of the tools within flip grid.
So I'm going to come here to flip grid and I want to share the disco
library. The disco library is a wonderful resource
of pre made prompts that you can use. The weekly
hits are the ones that have been most popular. These air companies that have
created flip grid topics near pod
breakout, E D u Flow Cab. You, Larry. I mean, excuse
me, this is fabulous. The re sources that are available here
Mhm. You could also find topics. There are
19,000 topics. You could find it by audience
subject, or you can search a topic.
So if you wanted to find phases of the moon, you could
type it here, and it would show you what's available. I'm going
to show you when Something that you can do.
Let's see. I'm gonna pick one. I'm going to do this one. Become an inventor.
So if I like this grid, if I want to keep this and notice they
added a YouTube up here. But if let's say I love
this, I want to share this with my students. I'm going to come
up here and I'm going to select the grade to put it in. Remember that you
cannot put it into the ones that are
canvas grids, so if it's a canvas grid notice, it doesn't
turn blue. It does allow me to put it in
the ones that are here like this, but if it's a canvas course,
it will not allow me to do it. But what I can do is I can
add it to this one.
It's going to take me to it. I do recommend that you read it carefully to make
sure it's what you wanted to say at all the changes to
it, and when you click update topic, it's now going to be here
in my grid. It's in my grid called
middle school samples. Eso Here it is become an
inventor. What I can do here
in actions, I can duplicate this topic,
and then I can choose one of my
canvas courses to add it to. So I'm adding it to the
practice flip grid. I want on Lee the topic, and now it's
going to duplicate it. So now it's going to
be in that canvas course, but that's the work around to it,
so it's going to take a few minutes to do.
I do recommend that you check out that disco library. There
are wonderful resource is available to you there.
Flip grade is a fantastic tool. It really does empower
students, Um, when they feel like people are listening to what
they have to say. I hope that this session has been
helpful again. You can access all of
these in from all of this information from
this canvas course. And here is the enroll code.
If you have any questions, I'm always available. That's
me lords dot meyer at Broward schools dot com,
and I hope you have a wonderful day. Stay safe and
be well, thank you so much for joining me
