Flip
Purpose
Flip (previously Flipgrid) provides an interactive and dynamic way for educators to facilitate discussions, assess understanding, and encourage student participation through the use of written, audio-, and/or video-based communication.
Description
Flip is a social learning platform that allows educators to create and share discussion prompts with their students. It provides a space for video-based discussions, enhancing student engagement, and promoting collaborative learning. The platform is often used as a tool for asynchronous communication, allowing students to respond to prompts with short video recordings.
Flip enables teachers to create "grids," which are essentially discussion boards, and within these grids, educators can post topics or questions for students to respond to. Students then create short video responses, which can be up to a specified duration, typically a few minutes. This format allows for more personal and expressive communication compared to traditional text-based discussions.
How to Use
Flip is available to use on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
