Building a K12 Language Arts<br/>Flipgrid Community | Common Core State Standards SMUSD | Scoop.it

One of the major goals of a language arts class is to help students communicate effectively. Educators often report wanting to help students develop voice in order to communicate verbally what they have learned. Unfortunately, many educators have trouble finding ways to incorporate this type of instruction into their lessons. Flipgrid is designed to do just that -- give students a fun and creative avenue to develop voice and provide educators with a simple way to integrate it in their classroom.
