Flipgrid Overview

I will be gearing up for a Flipgrid PD session for teachers in a week.  Although I have used Flipgrid with teachers in my graduate class I have not explored all of the new features.  I will be collecting resources along with Flipgrid's presentation and customizing with permission for my
PD session on March 9th. Link  https://goo.gl/2qSwRB  

Flipgrid is a video response platform where educators can have online video discussions with students or other educators. Teachers can provide feedback to students and better yet students can provide feedback to one another. With Flipgrid One (Free) you get ONE grid with unlimited topics.  If you have multiple classes or subject areas as we do at the high school you can just create a different topic for each and share that topic code.

With Flipgrid Classroom (subscription based $65 per year or there a building special) you get unlimited grids, topics, responses and replies to responses. You can definitely do a lot with the free version so check that out first and if you decide you need more you can update your account.
(Want to try Flipgrid Classroom for FREE? Sign up and use promo code provided MARYMAROTTA for free access for 45 days, after that you can pay to upgrade or it will revert to a free Flipgrid One account.)  Need ideas to get started? https://vimeo.com/flipgrid
