The last two years I have been using Flipgrid to allow students to share opinions, review books, give advice or take turns solving math problems. Flipgrid is a website that allows teachers to create "grids" of short discussion-style questions that students respond to through recorded videos. Each grid is effectively a message board where teachers can pose a question and their students can post 90-second video responses that appear in a tiled "grid" display. Grids can be classes, sections, groups of students, research groups, faculty groups, or any collection of users interested in a common strand of questions. This resource has been an amazing addition to the classroom but many students struggle to record their videos when others can see of hear them. These pods and stools will help give students a chance to for privacy and will build their confidence as we continue to use this tool in the classroom.
