FLIPGRID

 

Hello everyone! Today's tool is Flipgrid which 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 that appear in tiled grid display. 

To be able to create an account, you need to click "Educator Sign Up" first. You are asked to choose either your Google account or Microsoft account to sign up. After you choose, it wants you to give your personal information such as your name, country, etc. When you fill in the blanks, you are asked to create a group. You must add the qualifications of your group to create it. After you have done with creating, you can start to use Flipgrid.

Thanks to Flipgrid, you can be in connect with your students through videos instead of texts. You can create a topic which is like giving an assignment to your students and they are required to respond in videos to this topics. With this tool your students will be pushed to plan their responses and speak thoughtfully. 

I hope it helps you with your online teaching!
