Once a teacher assigns a topic, students record themselves with either their webcam or phone/tablet. Video can be so much more powerful than text. Let each of your students really show their understanding.
Students can customize their videos with editing features such as titles and the ability to trim videos to just the right time.
About
Flip is a tool where students can record themselves in order to answer questions, reflect, and respond to others. A teacher can assign the class a "topic" and students can respond to the topic. The teacher can then allow whether or not students can respond to others once a response is posted. Teachers can also provide meaningful feedback to students.
