Flipgrid is a social learning platform that enables teachers and students to interact using video. There are two ways to use it: one is Flipgrid Class, which in order to use its tools requires opening an account and, of course, paying a fee. On the other hand, you have Flipgrid One, which is the free offer on this platform for those teachers who cannot or do not want to pay a fee. Another of the qualities that make it interesting is the merger that this platform has made with Microsoft Education and Skype Classroom. Also, here they seem to be all advantages, since you can use them in different mobile operating systems, such as Flipgrid Android, or also Flipgrid IOS.
In addition, Flipgrid is a platform for asking questions and for a closed group (the people who receive the link) to respond. It is a VERY interesting tool for the class and in general in the training processes. It allows everyone in the class to be involved through questions and answers. It is an inclusive tool because even the shy and the introverts can respond (without facing the «public»). It also allows the teacher or facilitator to receive almost immediate feedback on what has been learned.
Basically, Flipgrid allows you to create questionnaires, but it goes one step further, since it helps us to record the opinions and responses of the students.
Advantages of using flipgrid:
Develops the expression capacity of the students,
It can help you to evaluate an activity,
You can ask for their opinion on a reading, a movie that you have watched, a topic covered in class …,
Increase your analysis possibilities on the topic of each grid, since the students give their opinion, from their particular perspective, in an open discussion.
You empower students by giving them a voice and vote,
Increase student confidence.
