Making Thinking Visible. Flipgrid is a social learning platform that allows educators to ask a question, then the students respond in a video. Students are then able to respond to one another, creating a “web” of discussion.
"The moment I knew that Flipgrid would change my classroom was when I was reviewing geometry with my first graders. I asked the students to show me what halves of various shapes look like. The students were using whiteboards to complete the work, then recording themselves on Flipgrid. One particularly bright student made a simple mistake, and I caught it monitoring the responses. However, before I could even walk over to her (30 seconds), 5 students had already responded with, “you might want to go back and check your work.” Think about the potential of this for a moment...you have 18 students working on a math problem and they’re sharing their thinking on Flipgrid. As they monitor each other’s responses, they’re exposed to 18 different ways of thinking - instead of just the one way that you might teach them. Flipgrid automatically elevates the academic level of the class, simply by asking students to use their voice. " -Julie Smith, The Techie Teacher
