Flipgrid

The current education trend is to blend in with the twenty first century learning (PAK-21), be it at schools or at colleges. Various educational applications provided which we can use to integrate into our 21st Century Learning session. Along with the rapid development of technology,we as  educators don't want to miss the use of technology in classroom. Among the educational apps we can give an attempt is Flipgrid app from Google Play Store. This application can be used as a social page based on a simple video response. Every students can be invited by their teachers who at first signed up this apps and acquired the code for the students. Apart from that, it can also be practiced for virtual classroom which means teachers can interact with their students outside classroom or during non-learning hour. This is also known as Flipped classroom method where teacher can interact/deliver learning ingredients or content outside the classroom.

Introducing myself using Flidgrid

For me, the application of Flipgrid is possible for my students in matriculation because of their ownership of smartphones and available WiFi. This is another interesting method which bring differences into teaching and learning. However, in my opinion, the use of this application is more to communication and for Physics subjects is not that suitable compared to social science subjects such as English and Bahasa Melayu or even religious subject. The reason is that all such subjects require more communication in order to enhance the learning. For example, public speaking practice is usually under Bahasa Melayu or Dinamika in Matriculation. Students can use Flipgrid to practice and hence teachers are able to assess students' work remotely. With this kind of interaction, teachers are saving more time in classroom for the part of analyzing each individual achievement, and instead teachers can use the time for giving feedback and teach of improvements methods.
