Choose Your Own Adventure!

I may be dating myself here, but growing up I loved the "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories. Is anyone with me on this?

Using the feature in Google slides that allows you to link one slide to another will let you and/or your students create their own "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories. Check out this example (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.done by a driver's ed. teacher.  What if your students created a "Choose Your Own Adventure" based on a novel being read or a historical period? They could create scenarios of what COULD have happened if other choices were made. If you are not sure how to link slides within a presentation, check out the video tutorial below.

Catch the Flipgrid Fever!

I am "flipping out" over a tool called Flipgrid!  Flipgrid is a discussion platform that allows students to give video responses to questions posed. Utilize Flipgrid as a way to start a book chat, discuss a current project or unit, share a point of view on a current event, or as a means to practice summarizing skills. The free version of the tool gives students up to one minute and thirty seconds of recording time, so being precise with their response will be important. Flipgrid is very easy to use! Primary teachers are loving it as way for students to share their thoughts digitally as an alternative to a typed response. I encourage you to check it out.
