 Flip (formerly Flipgrid)

Intro: Flip is a video discussion platform where students can record short videos to share their ideas, answer questions, or collaborate with peers. It gives students a voice and allows teachers to assess understanding in a creative, engaging way.

Ease of Use: Flip is simple to use. Students can record, edit, and upload videos quickly, and teachers can moderate, comment, or provide feedback easily. It’s accessible from computers, tablets, and phones.

Versatility: Flip can be used for reflections, book talks, presentations, or discussion boards. It works across subjects and grade levels, and it is especially useful for language learners or students who struggle with written expression.

Likelihood of Usage: I would use Flip to promote student engagement and give all students a chance to share their thoughts. It encourages participation from those who might not speak up in class and helps build confidence.

Course Connection: This tool connects to TLC (Technology, Learning, and Creativity) by encouraging creative expression and collaboration using technology to enhance learning. Students can demonstrate understanding in ways beyond traditional writing.
