Spotlight on EdTech: Keri Peterson, Grain Valley High School
Mrs. Peterson said that Flipgrid has changed teaching and learning in her classroom because, "It is a fun, new, and creative way for students to demonstrate and show their knowledge of fitness and wellness. FlipGrid is set up similar to other social media platforms but has required them to learn ways to share their knowledge with the entire class, not just the teacher."
"Flipgrid has allowed students to interact, explain, and think about how they are completing an exercise versus just doing it after I demonstrate and explain. It has really forced them to use fitness terminology and they are more aware of how their body is moving. Depending on which activities they choose, they also have to work on their communication skills through interviewing or teaching another person. These are both very important life skills to poses."
