Coffee Break professional learning experiences have two parts to each session. The first part is a fast-paced, 15 minute, online session where you will learn how to use a special feature for a digital tool. The second part is an opportunity for you to create and submit an artifact that demonstrates how you have implemented the special feature highlighted at the online session. Participants who complete both parts of the session will be able to apply for 1 SCECH credit or collect a certificate for one hour of professional learning.
Coffee Break Professional Learning: Session One - Wakelet and Flipgrid Integration
Part one: Wakelet and Flipgrid Integration - Tuesday, April 13, 2021 from 4:15 PM -4:30 PM
The Wakelet + Flipgrid integration allows you to record videos directly into a Wakelet collection using the new Flipgrid Shorts Camera. Use this Wakelet feature to bring a new level of engagement to your collections and enhance your students' learning. Create a video to provide feedback on a student’s Wakelet assignment, add an introduction to your classroom newsletter, and/or add personality to your asynchronous lessons by adding a short video with directions and words of encouragement. Students with Wakelet accounts will be able to respond to your videos by recording their own videos and adding them to your shared collections. Join us at this session to learn how to get started using Wakelet and Flipgrid integration and find out how you can earn 1 SCECH credit by adding Flipgrid integration into one or more of your Wakelet collections.
Part Two: Wakelet and Flipgrid Integration Artifact Creation - Submitted no later than May 21, 2021
You will create a three minute Flipgrid video that is appropriate with how you are using Wakelet. Examples include introducing a collection, step-by-step directions for a resource or lesson, or an introduction in a newsletter adding classroom highlights. Optionally, students that have Wakelet accounts can respond to a Flipgrid video prompt in your collection with their own Flipgrid videos. You will submit the link to your Wakelet collection where you have utilized the Flipgrid integration along with a description of your experience with the feature and how you are using it with students.
