Creating Student Voice with FlipGrid

Teachers,

You can give students a voice in their learning by using an awesome tool called FlipGrid.  Students can quickly post video responses and reflections, and, if enabled by the teacher, can post responses to each other.  It's like the big brother to SeeSaw.

Flipgrid is free and can be used easily in all content areas K-12, and works on a laptop, iPad, or smartphone.   The FlipGrid iPad App should be available in Self Service for all teachers and students.  It works really well with Google Classroom, Canvas,  Apple Schoolwork, and other LMS.

Teachers and students will log in to FlipGrid using either 
  • their school Google account (preferred)
  • a QR Code
  • a class code
  • or their ClassLink Launchpad - click here to read more
Please check out a grid that I built at this link.
Whether you are new to the District or have been around a while, please consider completing these two tasks on my Grid:

Task 1:  Introduce yourself and share something that makes you smile
Task 2:  Share a personal goal that you have.

These short videos will be shared will all collaborators.


Please let me know if you or your team have any questions or need help implementing this in your classrooms.

A little note:  on the laptops, the Adobe Flash plugin will be required.  You can download it from this link OR it may be downloaded from Self Service, which is in your applications folder.
