The benefits of FlipGrid!

The "grid" = a classroom where you can create tasks/topics for students to respond to
"Topics" = a task you give students to respond to through video
You can "moderate" videos so students don't see other student videos until YOU approve them
You decide if students can respond to each others videos, like each others content, or can see the total "views"
"Disco Library" = discussion library, use pre-created topics and discussions with content already created!
Flocabulary

EPIC
"Mix Tapes" - gather together exemplarily student responses to share with students to view!
Student Logins
Decide if students need a @bgcsedu.org/@uccacostams.org, if YOU create their logins, or if they can just get in with a link and password!
Flip Code: your unique URL for ALL your FlipGrids! - share this with students so they can see ALL your topics
Integrates with Google Classroom!
Add a "co-pilot" - a co-teacher to also view all your topics and student videos! (there is NO LIMIT to co-pilots on a Grid!)
Students can submit videos and then add filters, emojis, stickers, notes, etc!
Students can also film a screencast of THEIR screen! (They could present Google Slides and speak over it!)
When student work is submitted, you can view all videos, and provide feedback, scores, and even use a rubric to score student responses!
Keep in mind, you can limit student responses to between 15 seconds and 10 minutes!
Remember to outline some GROUND RULES for students using FlipGrid such as always be KIND, be respectful, only provide positive and constructive feedback. I always explain to students to provide "feed forward" instead of "feed back" --> think about providing comments that help students move FORWARD and not "back"
