Flocab 411
Top of every even hour (e.g. 10 AM, 12 PM, 2 PM)
A crash course in all things Flocabulary, “Flocab 411” provides an overview for those new to Flocabulary, or anyone who wants to learn about our new features that deepen the learning experience for students. Writing raps in class? Yep, we’ll show you how.
Why Rap in Education?
Top of every odd hour (e.g. 11 AM, 1 PM, 3 PM)
One question we get asked a lot at Flocabulary is, “Why use rap and hip-hop? Why not some other genre?” Beyond the fact that we plain old love it (we have Biggie Smalls wallpaper in our office, after all…), there are bigger reasons as to why hip-hop is an ideal genre for learning. Stop by to learn about the rhyme and reason of using rap in education.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vcex_heading text=”Flocabulary Swag & Giveaways” font_weight=”semibold” color=”#f65412″][vcex_spacing size=”20px”][vc_column_text]We know conferences are all about swag.
