In class each group went in front of the class, and introduced themselves using a cool website called Flipgrid. Flipgrid allowed everyone to record themselves in a video. In the video everyone was supposed to introduce themselves by saying their major and concentration, a talent they have, a cool memory they had of science class, and a question they will ask their future students. After we presented our About Me slides, and Flipgrids we had to present our results for the scavenger hunt.
I started my About Me slide by talking about My Scientist. I explained how I named my scientist Dr. Hawkstein by combining Hawkins and Einstein because Stephen Hawkins and Albert Einstein are the two people I think about when I think of science. I also went into detail about how I drew things around him that come to my mind when I think of science such as goggles, plants, and a magnifying glass. In my Flipgrid I talked about how my talent was basketball, and I have enjoyed playing it my whole life as well as watching it. I enjoyed having the opportunity to reminisce on memories from past science classes. I decided on when I got to plant a seed, and watched it grow into a plant. For the question I want to ask my science class I went with why is the sky blue.
It was very interesting to hear all about the talents and opinions of my peers. I enjoyed watching everyone's videos and their scavenger hunt results. One thing I noticed was many of the groups had similar rules and concerns about the class.
Flipgrid was a useful tool that I would enjoy using in the classroom. It is a creative way to introduce yourself in front of the class and give presentations. I also believe it could be useful when students are nervous about presenting in front of the class. Overall this was a helpful experience that I hope I can utilize in my future lessons.
