This week's Digital Tool Tuesday is on Let's Recap. If you were in Classroom Instruction that Works training at the beginning of the year, you may remember FlipGrid. Let's Recap is a lot like FlipGrid, but it has a few features that set it apart. Let's Recap is a digital tool that allows students to engage in reflection and discussion via videos and typed responses. The thing I like best about Let's Recap is the ability to create classes, or "queues," as they call them. That way, you can have each hour in a different queue and the videos are not dumped all in one place. This would make for better organization for grading. The free version of Flipgrid only gives you one "grid" to use for your whole student load.
In Let's Recap, students can type in responses to questions that you pose, or they can post video responses. You can have students share their video just with the teacher or with the whole class. You also can have up to 10 questions in a post for students to respond to. If you wanted, they could do a video response for every question! Let's Recap has Google Classroom integration, which is always a plus! Having students post videos as reflections or discussion is a great way to get them thinking about the topics you are covering in class, and Let's Recap and FlipGrid both provide an easy way for teachers to do so. Want to use Let's Recap or FlipGrid in class, but need some help? Let me know!
