Potential Uses

Microsoft Flipgrid can be used to enhance Effective Feedback in the classroom.

Video Feedback

Flipgrid allows teachers to provide video feedback to students. Instead of written comments, teachers can record personalized video messages offering specific feedback, praise, and suggestions for improvement. This video feedback adds a personal touch and helps students better understand the feedback provided.

Revision and Improvement

Flipgrid allows students to submit revised versions of their work based on the feedback received. Students can record updated videos showcasing their improvements and explaining how they addressed the feedback provided. This iterative process promotes continuous learning and growth.

Peer Feedback

Flipgrid enables students to provide feedback to their peers. Teachers can create grids where students can share their work, and their classmates can provide constructive feedback. This promotes a collaborative learning environment where students learn from each other and develop their feedback-giving skills.

Engagement and Motivation

Flipgrid's video-based feedback can be more engaging and motivating for students compared to traditional written feedback. Seeing and hearing their teacher's feedback in a personalized video format can make the feedback feel more meaningful and impactful, encouraging students to take action on the feedback provided.

Reflective Responses

Teachers can use Flipgrid to pose reflective questions or prompts related to student work. Students can then respond with video reflections, discussing their thought process, challenges faced, and areas they would like feedback on. This encourages metacognition and self-reflection, allowing students to identify their strengths and areas for improvement.
