Web Rule Lists are the fastest and easiest way to set a core list of websites that your students will need to access or be restricted from on a regular basis.
Create up to 20 Allow Lists and up to 20 Block Lists, each containing up to 100 URLs. Each of your saved Lists will be available to use in all of your classes, and, once you apply Web Rule List(s) to your class, the list(s) will remain applied for that class every time a class session is scheduled or started Ad Hoc!
Any saved Lists are available to use in Web Rules AND Group Web Rules, meaning you can apply different Lists (Allow or Block) to Student Segments you create versus the rest of the class.

4 Ways to Use Flip this School Year
(Information taken from an Flip Promotion Email)
Express Yourself with the New Flip Camera
Start the school year with introduction videos. Whether on or off camera (using our mic-only mode), students can share how to say their names, then add personal touches like photos, frames, stickers, and lots more ways to express who they are.
Level Up Creativity with New Camera Effects
You can now create "virtual" field trips (like using a greenscreen) with video backdrops and cinematic effects with the music function. Plus, our new edit feature lets you cut and assemble your video story online without needing to re-record the parts you like.
Explore Ready-Made Back-to-School Topics
Get ready for the new school year with our Back-to-School Discovery Library Collection. Here you'll find popular Flip topics to add to your groups that'll help spark conversations and engagement with your students from day one.
New Educator Group
We've created a space for meaningful conversations and connecting with fellow educators to help you feel supported in everything you do in the classroom and in life. Join our Think it... Flip it! group to discover, share, and celebrate ways to use Flip.
