C4- Pre- activity. Designing a HEY Flashcard activity with Flippity

  • The main outcome of any project is not only that the students understand and learn the topic but more important, that they are able of using these contents and skills learned in any situation of their real life. The peer learning is a lovely way to start practicing those skill with our students. In this C4 pre- activity, our students are going to design interactive flashcards thanks to the app Flippity. 

    Flippity is a useful tool for taking Google Sheets and turning it into helpful resources from flash cards to quizzes and more.The students are going to create their own activities and share them for their improvement with their project mates during the onsite mobility to Spain . The intention is to develop a battery of flashcards based on every topic covered with our project that could be used in the future by any other school included in the eTwinning network. These flashcards can be designed with embebed audios, videos, images or just a sentence. So they can be highly elaborated or very simple.

    Hence each country should create its own battery of interactive Flippity flashcards based on the topics/ contents/ discussions that were covered in its mobilities, as a summary of them, if the mobility is already done. If the mobility is yet to come (such is the case of Spain or Greece) they idea is to include the topics that are going to be covered in the future. There is no minimum or maximum number of flashcards in each battery. It all depends on your enthusiasm and lack of social life  ; ) lol
