Two Tech-riffic Tools

"Flippity" is a powerful way to get more out of Google Sheets. Create digital activities in this tech-riffic workshop for use in the classroom the next day. “Flippity” is a free program and does not require student or teacher sign up.  This workshop explores “Manipulatives” and “Group Game”. Critical thinking skills are demonstrated when creating and solving these engaging online activities. Use “Manipulatives” to form digital cards which students move into categories after analysing the word or phrase. “Manipulatives” is also extremely useful for exploring word order for sentences and questions. Create a “Group Game”, similar to the New York Times’ Connections puzzle. Use the templates to quickly and easily design your own customised learning activities. Flippity supports differentiation as teachers can design content that is aligned with their students' needs. Students of all ages enjoy working collaboratively to create puzzles for their peers to solve and analyse. The “Flippity” activities can also be easily shared with members of your teaching networks and posted on your LMS for students to interact with games created by their peers and teachers.
