Flipgrid is a free video discussion platform from Microsoft that helps educators see and hear from every student in class and foster a fun and supportive social learning environment. Flipgrid helps younger learners develop their voice and communicate with others while kickstarting a habit of reflection. Moreover, Flipgrid allows all students to share their thoughts regardless of reading or writing skill level.

Some educators prefer linking to Flipgrid from Seesaw or just using Flipgrid on its own, to take advantage of features not available within the Seesaw video tool. For example, Flipgrid has Microsoft's Immersive Reader built in to add accessibility support for students. Whether a learner is dyslexic, an early or struggling reader, an ELL student, or simply needs a little assistance, Immersive Reader makes reading and understanding easier.
