Video Tools
Flip, formerly known as 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 their students can post video responses (up to 10 minutes) that appear in a tiled grid display. Students can also voice-over their drawings, text, and images on their screen as well. In addition, both teachers and students can record their device screen while using these tools.
