Teachers often ask me, "How do you plan a UDL lesson?" 🤔I created the following flowchart to help with the process of proactively planning with UDL in mind. What are your thoughts? #udl #udlchat #edtech

Teaching today requires innovative ways to keep students engaged. A great way that I like to do that is by using @ExploreLearning Gizmos online labs! My students enjoy them, and they have been great teaching resources. If you teach STEM, check it out! #Gizmos

I attended the AMSTI Science Foundational Training today (so valuable)! I have a better idea of how to unpack standards, and learned a new strategy of productive discourse - a method to promote thoughtful classroom discussions. #ScienceEducation #ProfessionalDevelopment

@loftonl2935 It’s so close too!

@KaraHud39700050 I just checked out the preliminary session list. So many valuable options - the one about tools and strategies for new teachers looks perfect for me!

Wow. I used this app for a couple of my online college courses. The video interactions went beyond traditional discussion boards and were a great way to connect with classmates to make virtual learning feel more personal.

If you haven't heard, Microsoft Flip as we know it is being retired.

So many emotions. Sad. Grateful. Disappointed. Thankful.

I've seen EdTech tools and companies come and go for the last 12+ years.

Flipgrid was different. (Yes, in the end it was called Microsoft Flip, but to many of us, it'll always be Flipgrid.)

The product was unique ... But the community was INCREDIBLE.

Educators rallied around Flipgrid not for the product but for the mission: empower student voice. Or, as Flipgrid cofounder @design2research said, bringing the back row of the class to the front row.

I made lifelong friends because of Flipgrid.

The tool was incredible. (I could say "is" because "still in Microsoft Teams" and all, but that'll disqualify lots of us ... and today's Microsoft Flip is NOT the best version of itself.)

Flipgrid did elegantly what other tools tried to do -- and just didn't do as well.

(And I'm on team @HollyClarkEdu -- don't come at me with "x tool can record video." Nothing else does what it did in the way it did.)

I'm grateful and thankful for the people that made Flipgrid special ...

... but mostly I'm just disappointed.

If you stay around for a while, you see this happen. A product that was someone's passion / pride and joy ... gets acquired by a company that doesn't care as much. And something special gets lost from the world.

Students and teachers lose in this decision.

All in the attempt to make Microsoft profitable and efficient.

My heartfelt thanks to those that made Flipgrid special, including @Taralson, @Savvy_Educator, @jessxbo, @GridPalGeorge, @FelyTeachnology, @annkozma723, @MrCoachK15 and so many more.

I'll try to find new tools. (Please don't recommend any here. Not ready for that yet.) But for right now, I just need to settle my emotions and say ...

To my #FlipgridFam ... Thank you 💚

I love Classroomscreen. Integrating this technology into the classroom has been easy and fun. I have used the Poll widget to close a lesson with multiple choice, smileys, or true/false questions. #EdTech #DigitalLearning #Technology
