Flipgrid

Flipgrid is an easy to use video discussion platform. Teachers set up a Grid (classroom or group) and add Topics to spark discussion and gather feedback. As soon as a student submits their recording they are able to view each others videos and this sparks more classroom discussion. Watch the first part of this webinar to see Flipgrid in action.
