Flipgrid

Flipgrid is a free educational app designed to facilitate video discussions between teachers and students, ideal for remote learning environments. Teachers create groups and discussion topics where students respond with short videos ranging from 15 seconds to 10 minutes, displayed in an interactive tiled grid. The platform supports moderation features, customizable rubrics, and allows multiple teachers to co-moderate discussions through its CoPilot feature. Students can also use sticky notes on the recording screen to highlight key points during their video responses. Flipgrid’s user interface resembles popular social media platforms, offering ease of navigation and multiple creative expression options, though this can sometimes be distracting for younger students. While the mobile app supports video participation, creating discussion topics currently requires using the web browser version. Overall, Flipgrid promotes collaborative and engaging learning through video.
