Although I use Google Classroom and GSuite daily, I found myself reflecting deeply on this assignment.
- How do I utilize collaboration for constructivist practices?
- What are my tenets or beliefs about digital collaboration for my 5th-grade students?
- Why am I fearful of certain levels of collaboration? What is the best use of digital collaboration? I don’t want to collaborate for the sake of collaborating.
- How can I structure the rules of engagement for the safest and most effective outcome?
I teach 5th-grade general education students in a co-taught classroom with Mrs. Corrine Mateo. I have 20 students on my roster while my partner teacher has 16 bilingual students. We push assignments into each other's classroom frequently. I have provided assignments to individual students on her roster as needed. We believe in doing what is best for our students. It does not matter who is sitting at the keyboard, we fully collaborate.
For this assignment, I created a classroom that has both rosters (36 students). I hope we are able to partner with Dr. Erin Evans (USF) in the near future for an activity being proposed at this time. This was my first attempt at using FLIPGRID.
To maintain the privacy and confidentiality of my students I will not share the actual assignment. I encourage you to try FLIPGRID today. Learners of all ages can benefit.
This is the feedback and conversation with my professor on USF course canvas.

Veronica, I was excited to see you are utilizing Flipgrid. It is a fairly new tool to me and I'm loving it! My only question would be it seems like a lot of info to include in a Flipgrid recording. The free version gives you limited time to record. Will they have time to give all that info?

If the students practice with a timer first, I think it can be done. This will help the ELL students on their ACCESS responses.
