Getting Started with Flipgrid

Getting Started with Flip

Flip is a free video discussion platform from Microsoft that helps educators see and hear from every student in class and foster fun and supportive social learning. In Flip, educators post discussion prompts and students respond with short videos, whether they are learning in class or at home.

In this course, you will learn how to use Flip and a variety of resources to help you get started using Flip.

Logging in to FlipGrid

Once you set up your free educator account at info.flip.com, you will create a Group and then you’ll create a Topic for your class. A group is your class. A Topic is a discussion prompt for your students! Your students respond to your Topic with a short video, using our fun, social media style camera. Students can watch and comment on videos from peers, with you as the educator in complete control.
