Flipgrid

Flipgrid is a website that allows teachers to create "grids" to facilitate video discussions. Each grid is like a message board where teachers can pose questions, called "topics," and students can post video responses that appear in a tiled grid display.

Students are able to join Flipgrid with their Columbia4.org provided google account


Logging on and recording a video

1. Click on the Flipgrid link / Enter the Flip Code

Your child’s teacher will send you a Flip Code to their private Grid. Either (a) click on the link, or (b) enter the Flip Code on flipgrid.com or the free Flipgrid App (on iOS or Android).

2. Sign into the Grid.

Depending on how your child’s teacher set up their classroom Flipgrid, you will join either using their School Email (the account your child uses to access Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams) or a Student ID. If your child needs a Student ID, the teacher will provide this for you.



If your child’s teacher sets up a Grid using the school-managed email, the sign in page will look like this.

If your child’s teacher sets up a Grid with a unique ID for your student, the sign in page will look like this.

Teachers also have the ability to assign a Flipgrid straight from Google Classroom.

3. Record a Video

Review the educators discussion prompt. Your child will then tap the green plus to begin recording a video response. If you are on a phone, you will need to use Flipgrid’s free mobile app to record a video response.

After recording a video, review and edit, take a selfie (to serve as the cover photo), then submit!

For further instruction on how to record and submit a video, watch the quick and helpful tutorial video above with your child.
