It can be used to:
- hold online discussions,
- practice languages or public speaking,
- hold online debates,
- create class community,
- student introductions,
- student reflection,
- elevator pitches, and so much more.
You are just limited by your imagination! It’s a wonderful way for students to verbalize their learning and share.
If you’ve tried FlipGrid in the past then now’s the time to try it again. They have partnered with Microsoft so all the Premium features are now available for FREE!
