We all have all kinds of students in our classrooms; the quiet kids who have wonderful ideas, but never want to speak in front of their peers, the kids with great insights who struggle to write their ideas on paper, or the kids who have no problem sharing, but can get off topic. With Flip Grid you can give the quiet students a voice, give the struggling writer a way to express himself/herself, and give kids a limited amount of time to get their ideas out (with unlimited chances to re-record).
Flip Grid allows you to set up a "grid" (think class) where you can post "topics" for your students. Students respond to your post, which can be written, video you record, video you upload, images, or anything in your Google Drive. You get to control the privacy settings (password protection) and choose if students can post automatically or if you need to approve their responses first.
