Flipgrid Fever

Aside from Google's suite of instructional technology tools, it is rare to find an application that has the potential to be meaningful for students and teachers from ALL grade levels and subject areas. That is why I've been Flipping for Flipgrid! (check out my blog post from March 2018). Essentially, Flipgrid is a social learning platform in which students post video responses to teachers' prompts. It is one of the hottest ed-tech tools and is growing in popularity around the world for its ability to make student thinking visible, give every student a voice, and allow students to collaborate and communicate with a wide audience. Further, Flipgrid continues to add fun, collaborative features like Mix Tapes, the Dicso Library, and #GridPals.
  • Mix Tapes: a place to showcase videos from your Topics. Create a MixTape and add videos to share with the world!
  • Disco Library: Share and find Topic templates across all audiences and subjects. Every Topic you add ignites engagement opportunities in classes around the world! 
  • #GridPals: Connect with fellow Flipgrid educators and classrooms around the world!

Check out the video walk-throughs below to learn more about Flipgrid.
