Flipgrid is a fan favorite. Both with teachers, and with students. This week, we dive back in and re-explore Flipgrid. They've made a ton of updates since the first few times we reviewed the program on Episode 22 and Episode 48. When you use Flipgrid, you'll see it's a lot like some of the social apps that your students are used to using like TikTok and Instagram Stories—only this is made for the classroom and showing off what they've learned. You as the teacher have full control over how long and what kind of content they're creating. Listen to the full episode to hear all of the great ways you can use this cool (and totally free) tool from Microsoft. You can also find a full walkthrough video on my website at https://smartinwi.com/how-to-use-flip-grid-in-your-classroom/.
