Flocabulary’s Lyric Lab: A Springboard to Student Creativity
Our videos engage students, instructional tools let them master content, and now Lyric Lab places writing and creativity at their fingertips. Students can demonstrate content mastery not just through Read & Respond or an assigned quiz, but by applying their knowledge through writing, too.

To start, let’s review our new reading feature, Read & Respond. This new addition empowers students to develop close reading and content area literacy skills in select Flocabulary units, and we’re pretty pumped to share it with you.

Tweets from the Floor: An ISTE 2016 Twitter Recap
We had an amazing time at the ISTE conference in Denver this year! From previewing new features to epic educator rap battles and mini PD sessions on writing academic rhymes, there was tons to see and enjoy at Booth 920. Thanks to everyone who helped make it awesome.
Did you miss out on some of our sessions at the booth? Or, maybe you weren’t able to swing by our rap battle or live performances due to a crazy schedule? Perhaps you were among the #NotAtISTE16 group?
However you enjoyed ISTE, we’ve compiled some of our favorite videos, photos and tweets from the conference to share so you can catch up on all the Flocab happenings. Read on!
