Flipping Out With "MORE Flipgrid”

8/7/2018

Flipgrid Live and Edcamp Flipgrid are done, so it's time to reflect. Both events were Tuesday, July 31 and Wednesday, August 1. Each day was filled with a ton of fun education energy by Flipgrid and educators full of sharing the excitement. My PLN grew from this vibrant learning community.

I have less than a year of experience with
Flipgrid, starting my grids back in December. Within a month I had moved most of my video projects to Flipgrid with ease and no hiccups. I wrote about it in March, “Flipping Out With Flipgrid”. Educators I present to love Flipgrid and it's easy for anyone to use.

Flipgrid Live was Wednesday night after two days of great learning. I was pumped to attend this event, to see what was new with my favorite video tool. Here’s a list of the cutting-edge features and product enhancements. Below I grabbed all the features from their Flipgrid Blog.


  • Flipgrid Recorder + Player - The heart of Flipgrid is the recorder. After all, that's what your students use to capture and share their ideas, reflections, projects, creations, environments, experiments, imaginations... their voice! So we gave it superpowers.
  • Trimming - Accidentally sneeze at the end of an epic Flipgrid video? Don't start over from scratch. Trim it! And… Add More - When you Trim the beginning or end of your video, you'll unlock additional recording time.
  • Capture It All - Flipgrid videos are now optimized for every device, with 16x9 (desktop), square, or 9x16 (full-screen mobile)! Better yet - if your device has two cameras, you can use them both by live-flipping between the front and back!
  • Supercharged Selfies - Retake your selfie without losing your stickers and drawings (perfectly align your face with those aviators)!
    Grid Launchpad - Now that Flipgrid is 100% free for every educator on the planet, there is no limit to the communities you can amplify! And our new Grid Launchpad makes empowering your learners in a safe environment easier than ever.
  • My Classroom or School - Connect students with your school email domain.
    Student ID List - Perfect for younger learners, create or upload a student list and assign unique ID numbers. BONUS: download and print out QR codes for each student to simply access the Grid using their camera!
  • Public + PLN - open your Grid to the world wide web of inspirational peers!
    #GridPals -  Bonnie McClelland created the world's nicest form and connected over 1,500 classrooms as #GridPals became a movement. Now, it's as easy as filling out your Flipgrid Profile, activating GridPals, and making a connection!
​
There are so many great tool choices within Flipgrid. My mind is zinging with excitement and the anticipation of what my students will create. Flipgrid is a GREAT product that got even better.
