Flipgrid

Flipgrid is a program that allows people to record short response videos to prompts, reflections, or even read books. While it requires someone to have an account, you can invite others (students, PD participants) to add their video.

Flipgrid has a new feature - a whiteboard! You can toggle between camera and whiteboard to create quick lessons or have students demonstrate their thinking, e.g. when solving a math problem.

Here are some innovative ways that educators have used Flipgrid:
