What it is: Flowgram is a website that makes it easier to teach your students online. Flowgram has a simple platform that makes is easy for anyone to package and share anything on the web. Flowgram can combine slideshows, documents, pictures, screencasts, websites, audio, video etc. with your voice narration. This makes it simple to teach any concept using the web. Flowgram requires no download, it runs directly from your Internet browser. Recipients of the Flowgram can fully interact with anything that is on the Flowgram (webpage links, video, etc.). Flowgrams can be sent via email, linked to, or embedded in a blog or website for viewing.
How to integrate Flowgram into the classroom: Flowgram is a wonderful way to create interactive tutorials for students learning any technology concept. Beyond that, Flowgram makes it easy for you to take your students on virtual field trips on any subject. What I love about Flowgram, is that it meets individual student needs. Students can work at their own pace and interact with any part of the Flowgram as many times as they need. It would also be a great place to create reviews for tests, and perfect for students who have missed school. Teach your students to make Flowgrams and start your own library of student created tutorials on any subject. Students teaching students is powerful! Because you can narrate Flowgrams, they are wonderful to use with students who struggle with reading and navigating the Internet on their own…it is like having you sit right next to them, leading with your undivided attention.
Tips: I have started creating a weekly Flowgram for teachers at my school called Tenkely’s Tips. I will be creating a new page with a collection of the weekly Flowgrams. Feel free to check them out!
