Flipgrid

You've heard about Flipgrid, but have never tried it? At its most basic, Flipgrid is a video tool that allows teachers to post "Topics" that are essentially videos with some accompanying text. This is then shared with students, who can be prompted to respond. The response can be made using the software's camera to create videos that are then posted to the original Topic. In this course you will dive right in and learn about the basics of creating a Flipgrid topic, group, and prompt.  You will explore the Flipgrid camera features, settings, giving feedback, and accessibility.
