Flipgrid as a Video-Sharing Tool

No other software fares better than Flipgrid when it comes to utilizing videos as an interactive tool for classroom discussion. Due to the pandemic, it has been proven that tools like this one is imperative more than ever in making sure that distance learning gets effectively implemented. With this tool, I can still connect with my learners. I can reach out to them for concerns, and they can give me feedback on their progress and their difficulties. Videos sent as responses to certain prompts are palpable evidences of their acquired knowledge and skills about different lessons. It's so user-friendly and its interface is superbly interactive, a feature which will definitely hook and engage the students for a more sociable, interactive, and meaningful learning!

PROS

Flipgrid is a reliable tool educators and students can use (for free) to integrate ICT in the classroom. With this video-sharing application, learning becomes interactive, and so much fun! As a classroom teacher, the software allows me to provide quality learning activities which a community of learners find interesting. With this app, geographical borders become insignificant. I can connect my students from all parts of the world. I can even invite resource speakers to give brief discussions on select topics. Learning and getting responses from my learners has never been this engaging!

CONS

I like the fact that it has plenty of engaging features that will definitely engage learners, however, this could sometimes be a distraction from focusing on the task at hand. This is high time where teacher's managing skills should come in. Moderating a bunch of students can be a hassle sometimes, but once the students have already been oriented about the dos and dont's in the platform, then this problem gets resolved eventually.

FlipGrid is fantastic for second language acquisition

Phenomenal. FlipGrid is an instrumental part of my teaching methodology, and I plan to continue using it across diverse academic disciplines.

PROS

I most liked the browser-based delivery of curated video content compiled by both students and instructors. Activities can readily incorporate supplemental materials from YouTube or elsewhere.

CONS

Overall, the site is darn-near perfect, but I'd like to see the refinement and iterative improvement of different tools. I wish the incorporated supplemental material, for instance, could be integrated more directly into assessment and engagement frameworks. For example, could you combine the features of EdPuzzle and FlipGrid into a common interface? Additionally, for recorded assessments, would it be possible, for instance, to restrict the number of times that a student could record? Lastly, I'd love to see some kind of integration that would facilitate the recording of remote dialogues between groups of students.

Reason for choosing Flip

We already had an enterprise license to Microsoft 365, so it was a no-brainer, because there was no added cost associated with integration.

Reasons for switching to Flip

PanOpto requires a rather clunky desktop client. FlipGrid is already freely available, and the browser-based access point is significantly easier for students to navigate.

gridpals not the same as years past

Recently, not good. Please bring back gridpals ♥

PROS

I loved that in 2021 we could browse a list of educators around the world and connect with teachers that would respond to our language videos.

CONS

Now we can't do that, and i have hundreds of students wanting to connect with other students their age to promote second language acquisition.

Is it a bandwidth issue?

My students interact with each other on various topics. FG is great for that WHEN everyone can post in a timely fashion. This is my only complaint. Video quality is great. Sometimes audio does not record, which is also frustrating. Students who never have a problem have a very positive experience! But, for the 10% who do, and it is at least that high, FG leaves them frustrated with the app and with the class! NOT good!

PROS

In general, my students are able to create good videos; most learn how to incorporate images in their journals easily. This is a key component, so if instructions were even clearer, that would excellent. I appreciate the availability of statistics from FG, but what I miss is the grading rubric. That was quite valuable to me.

CONS

The biggest problem I see is that too often, students experience bandwidth problems. Given that they are on the same MAJOR university campus, the problem is not at their end. Making a video only to have it not save and render is frustrating. When it happens repeatedly, students become very anxious about their assignments. Honestly, if there were a more reliable platform, I would use it. I have a class of 50 students.

Reason for choosing Flip

Michigan State University contracts with Microsoft for many products. Getting FG as part of that, I assume, is a great thing! I don't think I can configure MS Teams to do what I want, but I may look into it,
