Step 1: Create a Grid
A Grid is the “home” for your class in Flipgrid, and you can create as many Grids as you want. Within your Grid you can post unlimited discussion prompts. We call these Topics.
Grid Community Types
When you set up your Grid, you will choose how students access by selecting a Grid Community Type. You should select School Email
School Email: if your students use a school email, choose this option to allow only those with your school email to access your Grid.
❗ IMPORTANT Be sure to add @ccboe.net AND @student.ccboe.net
Student ID List: Do not use this option.
PLC and Public: Choose this option to allow any person with your Flip Code access to your Grid. Participants will need to log in with an email in order to post a video Response.
Step 2: Add Topics
Topics are the stimulus for conversation. Within your Topic you can include anything you would like your students to review prior to recording a video Response, such as videos and links.
Step 3: Share your Grid and collect videos from your students.
You can share directly to Google Classroom, or you can copy/paste the link to your Grid in Google Classroom or an email.
