Flipgrid is Flippin Great!

I think you may flip over flipgrid.   I have seen a lot of technology tools throughout my time as an educator and I really think this flipgrid thing is the real deal.  Rarely can you just pitch an idea or activity to a teacher and they "actually" like it right away.  Flipgrid is the one!  You know how kids like videos?  You know how they like themselves?  You know how they like to film themselves doing this or that?  You know how they like to share stuff with friends virtually?  You know how they like to have originality?  You know how they like to You know how they like to make new friends?  Well they can do that and more in flipgrid.  I also love how flipgrid shares great ideas with everyone.  Here is a great link to ways to use flipgrid.

In a nut shell, a teacher makes a post and then students make a video reply using their:  chromebook, smart phone, laptop, computer, etc.  Virtually any device.  The teacher can moderate it and monitor for appropriateness.  You can really have a lot of fun with this and if you are open and creative you can do some pretty amazing things.... like doing a flipgrid with a class across town or across THE WORLD.  It is limitless.

Now if you are a BGISD teacher, and you are the first to hit me up on twitter:  @allenraymartin and say I want the free flipgrid account for a year.... I will hook you up.
