FLIPGRID

Flipgrid is a website and app that allows teachers to facilitate video discussions. Students are organized into groups, then given access to discussion topics. The topic space serves as an interactive message board where teachers can pose questions and students can post video responses that appear in a tiled grid display.
Try using Flipgrid to further classroom conversations by assigning questions as homework assignments and then continue the conversation in class the next day. You might also use Flipgrid as an opportunity for students to post reviews of books, movies, games, or television shows. If you want to create a video for students to view, but don’t want or need to collect video responses, check out the simple Shorts tool. Use the Flipgrid software to quickly record a video or screenshare, then send it with your students with a link. The Flipgrid AR feature is another useful tool. From the teacher dashboard, you can print QR codes that link to each response. You can post these QR codes in a student art gallery or at a parent open house to share student videos. Participants must use the Flipgrid website or app to view the videos. You can also use the app to collect video responses from students and guests. Students can also record “mic-only” videos or cover their image with digital stickers. As with any communication tool, focus on creating a culture of respect by setting clear expectations in advance.
