Becoming Botanical Garden Educators: Using Flip to Engage High School Students in Botany
Connected Science Learning, v6 n1 p5-7 2024
It is critical to develop students' science communication skills as they progress through their education. One way this goal can be accomplished is by integrating Flip into educational programs. Through Flip educators create prompts that students respond to in video form, which leads to deeper discussion on various topics. This brief will share an example of how Flip was used with high school students spending time at a botanical garden to not only promote science communication skills but to help engage them with plant life. In this activity students assume the role of "educator" by becoming an expert on a specific plant species and recording a video introducing others to that organism.
