Flipgrid

Flipgrid (http://www.flipgrid.com) is designed to further student classroom conversation and discussion in a fun and interactive way. The ability to share ideas, opinions, and thoughts in 90 seconds or less is what makes the tool so unique and why, in this integration document, we focus on a more exploratory approach to creating discussion questions/prompts. While Flipgrid can be used to demonstrate students’ factual knowledge on a topic, we encourage you to create more reflective, open-ended questions to enhance their critical thinking skills. The beauty of Flipgrid is that it puts students on a level playing field which keeps them from feeling embarrassed or left out. For example, if you have students that require varying levels of instruction, the questions you pose can be general enough to tailor to their individual needs. The opportunities for generating meaningful discourse are endless and this guide will help you think about forming questions in new and creative ways while also tailoring them to your classroom needs.
