Try Flipgrid: Video Communication Tool

With Flipgrid, teachers create a grid, post a prompt, and then students reply to the prompt via video.  They can then watch the other students' videos.  This might be a great exit ticket alternative, or simply a virtual discussion format that requires all students to contribute.  I haven't tried using this one with kids yet, but it's designed with students as creators, not just consumers, as the goal.  I think there's a lot of potential for this tool with all subject areas.  This might be a great tool to align with our 4C's goals, because students create videos, communicate their thinking, and collaborate online.


The Power & Purpose of Flipgrid


Brief introduction to what Flipgrid is...


Here is a fantastic step by step tutorial that includes creating a grid and post, and how to share the grid with students.  Grids can be embedded into sites, or directly into Google Classroom.
