FlipGrid Comments
View your classmates' FLIPGRID videos. Create a substantive response video to a minimum of two videos.
What is a substantive response?
A response that addresses the video in a meaningful way by clarifying, explaining, describing, giving examples, or asking questions to further the learning for everyone. "Substantive" and "substantial" are two different things-- substantial would mean a really big, long, heavy response, substantive refers to the quality of the response rather than quantity. By clarifying, explaining, describing, giving examples, and/or asking questions, you have added substance, hence a substantive response.
Due:
