- Free! If you want to upgrade, the price is reasonable.
- Presented in a visually appealing, organized grid.
- Quick, yet empressive formative assessment.
- Easy to navigate.
- Easy to sign up.
- Simple to embed Grids or topics on any website or LMS.
- Great for parent involvement and communication.
- Works for any and every subject!
- Gives shy students a voice!
- Students can access Flipgrid from anywhere through any device with internet connection.
- Styled to embody popular social media sites, which appeals to students.
- Students will beg to make Flipgrids! It is a great tool to use for homework.
- Build a classroom community.
- Collaborate across the world.
- Build student's speaking and listening skills.
- Appsmash! AKA, integrate various apps together to create rich learning experiences.
- Easily use other teacher's Flipgrids. When you make a copy, you can edit the topic. All of the teacher's responses DO NOT follow the topic, which is great! It is a clean slate for your students.
- Students can only reply in a comment section if the teacher has the upgraded version. (Tip: Have students create another video response labeled 'reply to (student's name).'
- Teachers can grade using embedded rubrics, but they are very basic. Teachers must upgrade if they want detailed rubrics.
- Without the paid version, teachers only get on grid. Having multiple grids allows the teacher to organize topics more efficiently. For example, I am using one grid, but it has grids for my actual students as well as grids for this tutorial. This could confuse my students. In retrospect, I should have created another account, using my college email account for this project.
- Students could play around using the technology and possibly waste class time, if the teacher does not pay close attention.
- Students could possibly be inappropriate in video responses. Although, the instructor does have the option to view the video prior to being posted to the Grid.
- There are so many possibilities with Flipgrid, an educator could become overwhelmed!
