Flipgrid is a website where
teachers create "grids" of short discussion-style questions
2. Respond to a critical thinking question such as “Would you Rather...” (i.e. Would you rather live near a volcano or on a fault line? Or “How was reconstruction of the South after the Civil War successful? Where did it fail?).
3. Predict the impact on an ecosystem in the case of an overabundance of a species. (i.e. There’s drought on the prairie. What happens to the rabbits? Coyotes? Other species?)
4. Record a “Reading Selfie” - Read and record a passage from your library book. Continue recording making connections "Text to Text", "Text to Self", "Text to World".
5. Explain why we CAN'T excuse Dear Aunt Sally or Give My Dad A Sandwich! What is the REAL order of Operations?!
6. Poll classmates, create a graph then share data analysis via Flipgrid.
7. Reflect on upcoming state testing by venting their feelings, concerns, where they feel confident and what they would like to review
8. Practice presentations for a Biographical Wax museum or Science Fair. Classmates offer a “glow” (what they enjoyed) and a “grow” (“Have you thought about...?") to offer constructive feedback. Or, record a message to parents for an Open House or Student Showcase.
9. Record book review or commercial to recommend interesting reads for peers
10. Forecast the weather as a meteorologist. What’s the difference between climate and weather? What do the symbols on a weather map mean? After studying local weather conditions, assign students to give today’s forecast as a meteorologist on Flipgrid.
11. Be the Teacher! Record a "HOW TO" on how to change a decimal into a fraction or how to edit a sentence or solve the problem of the day.
12. Welcome incoming students at the beginning of the school year. At the end of the year, current students record a Flipgrid to advise incoming students on what they loved about their grade and how to be successful in the upcoming year.
13. Report on a research Project.
14. Practice speaking English. For dual-language students, Flipgrid can be used to provide opportunities for students learning English to practice their speaking.

students respond to through recorded videos. Each grid is a message board where
teachers can pose a question and their students can post 90-second video
responses (in free version; longer in paid version) that appear in a tiled
"grid" display.
