Strategies for Using Flipgrid in the Kinesiology Classroom

The purpose of this article was to explore how Flipgrid could enhance classroom instruction and support the teaching and understanding of the material presented for the diverse topics of kinesiology. The key aspects that will be discussed are review of skills, linking theory to practice, and skill evaluation and assessment. As a video response platform, Flipgrid students can share their reactions to a content prompt by the instructor, offering a variety of opportunities for learning concepts. Videos are uniquely helpful for transferring theory into practice. Students can create videos demonstrating physical skills, so instructors can complete the assessment without the rush of assessing in-class and saving time. As students view their demonstrations, they can see concrete visuals of where to make improvements. Students can also view other students’ videos and learn to offer helpful suggestions as they will do in their future teaching. The strategy presented was aligned with the different types of learning that occur in the kinesiology setting.
