One of the most valuable sections of your tutorial video is that you show us the result from the student perspective. It is so helpful for me! Thank you!

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

You're very welcome! Thanks so much for your feedback!

[@simplebudd]

Greetings from Bangkok, Thailand, Sam. You are such a great teacher - well organized and very thorough in your explanation. Thank you so much for your kind contribution.

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Thanks so much for your feedback!

[@musicgate100]

One of the best teaching. You are an excellent teacher. Will keep learning from your videos. Thanks from Thailand.

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Thanks so much!

[@lydiamaury7192]

Thank you for such a clear, easy to understand video. I am so tech shy about trying new things. I've now created 3 Flipgrid assignments! Thank you!!

That's great to hear, Lydia! Thanks for your support!

[@calliejackson570]

I wanted to "like" this video about 15 times while I was watching it. You put so much good information in here! I'm planning to use Flipgrid during our time of remote learning. Thank you!

I started using Flipgrid this year, but you showed me some additional tools I frankly never checked out but now can "beef" up my videos and connect with my students easily with Google Classroom so everything is connected.

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Awesome to hear!

[@evem7346]

Words cannot express how grateful I am that you are making teacher friendly professional development videos! I have learned so much from you and, as a result, feel more confident using Flipgrid. Bravo!

Awesome, Eve! Best of luck to you!

[@anaescalante5210]

I am loving your videos!! I am a preschool technology teacher at a private school in Mexico, and the tech goals we have to set now (due to all the remote learning) are very different to the objectives I used to have for all my students in past years. Now I am looking for free and user-friendly ideas for kids ages 2-6 years to learn from home (independently...oh my!). I do like Flipgrid for some grades. Will continue watching your videos and learning from your suggestions. Thank you for all this valuable information. :)

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Hi Ana, Thanks for your comment! Definitely check out my other videos about teaching remotely because there are quite a few programs that young students can use. Take a look at Seesaw as well!

[@anaescalante5210]

@@NewEdTechClassroom Will do, thanks! Yes, we have been using the free version of seesaw for a few years now (the teachers, to create students/class portfolios). Having the paid version would solve most of our needs, but oh well, I guess I´ll keep looking around. Thanks again! :) :)

This was very useful. I'm thinking of using Flipgrid for a fully online summer course I'm teaching at Bemidji State University, beginning in a couple of weeks. Now, since you mentioned it, I'm also thinking about using google slides. Thanks!

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Awesome, best of luck!

[@karenpane5898]

THANK YOU - you're a fantastic instructor. I learned so much and can't wait to give this a try. I hope my 4th graders can figure it out remotely, but I'm going to search for a flip grid explaining how to use it as a student for the first time.

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Thank you! Unfortunately I don't currently have a student tutorial (though many have requested one!). In my experience students are able to figure it out pretty easily one their own even without a tutorial. Another option would be for you to make a quick one using Screencastify or another screen capture program.

Awesome! Thanks for the shout out, and thanks for sharing with other teachers!

[@michaelbreward3975]

As I teach Business Ethics (and no, that is not an oxymoron!), discussion is of paramount importance for student learning, becoming engaged with the material, and ultimately (and hopefully) internalizing an appropriate moral compass. I believe that in the current social distancing environment, whereby I had to transition to an online delievery of a complex and discussion heavy course, this will work out VERY well. SO excited to get going, but class doesn't start for another week. :) So THANK YOU for such an amazing tutorial! I have set my notification appropriately as I want to keep up to date.

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

I completely agree, Michael! You are very welcome!!

This was truly a very helpful PD about how to use the Flipgrid. It would definitely be another interesting way to engage students in distance learning. I concerned with if this would be an acceptable format that my school district would allow to be used. They have various formats that they would encourage us to use and I hope that this would be one of them. Thank you for providing insight into this technology.

Another succinct and informative tutorial -- thank you, Sam! I am binging on New EdTech Classroom this morning ;) Your viewers might want to know that FlipGrid made some changes as of August 2020 -- notably that "Grids" have been replaced by "Groups." (Kinda ironic considering the app's name, right?!) Here's a good summary of the changes from the FlipGrid blog: blog.flipgrid.com/news/flipgrid2020. I used FlipGrid with my students in the spring but watching this tutorial was a good refresher for start-of-school, and I realized there were some features I was neglecting (such as the whiteboard for math problems).

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

[@edgarehnis]

Hello! This is a great video within a great series of videos! And it is double-great that you take the time to answer virtually every single comment! Congratulations and thanks a lot for that, it is very unusual! I have a couple of questions: Question 1. What is the capacity and life span of Flipgrid, in other words, how many grids can a teacher open, how many assignments can a grid have, how many videos can every single student can upload and how long can a grid/assignment be open (e.g.: 1 month, 1 semester, 1 year, lifetime)? Question 2. Is there integration like the one you described between Flipgrid and Google Classroom but between Flipgrid and Moodle? Thank you so much! Greetings from Mexico!

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Thanks so much! 1. Unlimited! 2. Sure, you can integrate Flipgrid with any program, really, because all students would need is either the direct link to the grid you create or the code to enter the grid if they go directly to Flipgrid. You can embed a link to the grid you've created in Moodle, and they'll be taken directly there. The only thing the Flipgrid/Google Classroom integration really does is post the assignment directly into Google Classroom if you choose. Best of luck!

[@staceydiaz8388]

Hi Katie. Go back to 12:24 minutes on the video. I think this is what you are referring to.

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Yes, just change the settings so that you have to monitor responses before they show up. You can edit that when creating/editing the assignment.

Thank you for this information. I am a teacher working at Toronto District School Board. They have approved this app to use for teaching and learning purposes. However, given that our school community is very concerned on privacy matters, I have two questions: 1- Is there a way to have students video records to be visible by other students in my classroom. 2- How does Flipgrid protect students' privacy?

[@NewEdTechClassroom]

Hello! You have several different options for how to set up Flipgrid with varying levels of privacy. For example, you can set it up so only students with a specific email domain can login, and you can also choose to close a Grid or an assignment once it's no longer in use. In general, students will need a specific login to access the assignment you create, so the videos aren't openly available for others to see. Here is Flipgrid's official document on privacy: legal.flipgrid.com/privacy.html
