Flipgrids and Introductions

For our in-class introductions, we created a flipgrid, which is a video that we make about ourselves. In the video, we had to...

• Say our name, major, and certification we were seeking
• Show or tell a special talent that we possess
• Tell about something fun or interesting that we did in science when we were younger
• Ask our future students a science-related question. 

I had never made a video to introduce myself, but it is something that I definitely would do in the future. The video allowed me to watch myself and reflect on how I present. While watching my video in class, I learned that I need to work on talking slower so people could better understand me. 

In addition to our flipgrids, we also made a powerpoint slide for ourselves and then one with our groups. I enjoyed looking at everyone's slides with pictures because it allowed everyone to have their own unique aspect of their powerpoint. Our slide also included a link to our flipgrid, blog, and efolio. This allows the class easy access to our class resources so we can learn more about each other.

Although each group had the same task, everyones powerpoint introduced something different. I assumed we would be watching very similar presentations in class, but I enjoyed being able to witness how everyone brought their own creative flair.

I enjoyed learning about everyone, and I am very excited for the rest of this semester!
