FlowVellaHow To Spice Up Your Daily Lessons with FlowVella
When we set out to create FlowVella, we had always hoped it would be used in educational settings. We see new classroom websites, presentations, projects, and science reports being created every day and we love nothing more than when you share with us how it has transformed your classroom. One way that we love seeing FlowVella being used in the daily lessons you give to your students. If you haven’t tried it yet, we highly recommend you do, and also have a few fun suggestions on how to make them even better to ignite your student’s interest in your lesson!
1. Include enticing videos that are short, relevant, and current. Try finding videos on cool sites like Vimeo.com, TED.com, or elsewhere!
“DISRUPTION” – a film by KELLY NYKS & JARED P. SCOTT from Watch Disruption on Vimeo.
2. Include beautiful images and image galleries to keep students’ attention, don’t just use a mediocre image from the textbook company. Flickr is a good source of visually pleasing images your students will love!
3. Include loads of links to outside sources on different subjects for further reading and diving deeper.
4. Make the lesson interactive by asking the students to follow along with the Flows themselves and click on links you provide.
6. Include a how-to video that you record yourself, or one that you find online. By embedding this video into your Flow, you can avoid problems with students forgetting steps in a process when they go home (especially effective in math and science classes).
