Flipgrid: The Go-To Remote Learning Tool

Flipgrid has quickly become one of my favorite tools, especially for remote learning. With remote learning, we have seen Flipgrid move from that NICE TO HAVE platform to the NEED TO HAVE platform.

What is Flipgrid?

Flipgrid is a FREE, asynchronous video discussion platform that gives every student a voice. The educator posts a prompt in Flipgrid, and then students respond via video. Then students have the opportunity to watch each other’s responses and reply. It adds a layer of fun and collaboration to the classroom experience!

How Can Flipgrid Help Support Remote Learning?

During the emergency school closures, teachers were tasked with creating community in a completely different way. Building a community despite physical separation is a challenge, but educators across the globe have risen. There are so many ways that educators can use Flipgrid to connect with students.

Joe Merrill, a guest in e79, shared how he uses Flipgrid as a virtual “playground” for his littles. Many teachers are also using Flipgrid for social-emotional learning, digital celebrations, or even a virtual pet parade. Ann says she has been inspired by the silly connections, the emotional connections, and the heart connections she has seen from teachers using Flipgrid.

“If this time has taught us anything, it’s that relationships with students are that much more important!” – Jess Boyce

Just because it’s an asynchronous tool doesn’t mean that you can’t feel connected to your students. It can be personal, real, relevant, and unique.

Let’s celebrate every unique voice!

Flipgrid provides that pathway for students to share their unique voices.

Educators are thinking about new ways and opportunities to meet the needs of students.

We are all in this together!

This is the opportunity for us to Shake Up Learning!
