hi everyone this is brad today we're
going to take a look at flipgrid
from a teacher point of view and student
point of view also show a place where
you can find some resources
as well so let's go ahead and
go ahead into flipgrid so just type in
flipgrid.com and you see
info.flipgrid.com
you can go ahead and right away you can
check out their remote learning guides
let's go ahead and take a very quick
look at that
when you do so you can see there is the
flipgrid blog
right here and it is extremely helpful
and even for how to get started within
five minutes okay so here's what we're
going to do though we're going to
it is the first time you're ever using
it you have to do an educator sign up
just go through what you would typically
do and in this case i logged in with
google but i'm going to use my educator
login now
in the past you'll see they call them
grids now they're groups
so you can see your previous ones are
right
over in here so if you would like to
start a brand new one you can just start
create a group right here so i'm going
to go ahead and do that and i'm just
going to call this sample
2020. and right down in here is your
join code
if you want to change that and you want
to change the dale 2020 see if it's
available
it's not so if you want you can see 202
so you could say whatever it would be
dale
classroom there it is so that's
available all right now
how would the students go in and join in
this case we're going to use student
email and we're going to select next
now where i work in with acton school
district
we use student.org so if you are in the
factory you have to type that in
otherwise your students will not be able
to log in so it's locked down
to that specific um it would only be
available for mafactan and
student.effect and no one else from the
outside would be able to
in the future i could show you other
things where you could add on different
ones here
but for right now let's go ahead and
just select next
okay if you want to duplicate any topics
from before you can certainly do that
and go ahead and find things that you
have used in the past
and duplicate it it's helpful in the
future but if this is the first time
you're doing it we're just going to say
skip for now so here it is where
they can copy and show the join code
below
what we're going to do here though and
you can see all your options for
exporting it
we're going to go to the group so in the
past again this is kind of your grid
so here it is right in here and
you can see in here if you work with
others you could add a co-pilot
so you could just type their name in
there and they would be able to have the
same access you do so if you have a
co-teacher you can go ahead
and do that now a few things to point
out over here you can always edit your
group
over in here so if you want to rename it
change the group name
or the join code you can certainly do
that
private to public so on and so forth
guest pass
all these things in here is it active or
is it
hidden do you have any group followers
so
there's a number of items you could do
you can even go ahead in and obviously
change your picture so if you wanted to
change it to uh
let's say this right here let's do that
and we're going to update the group so
there it is all right
now over here are some actions and again
you can see how you can edit the group
you can duplicate the group so there's a
lot of information i just wanted to
point the
point that out so now we need to do
is add a topic so the topics you can
have one grid
let's just say i teach say i teach fifth
grade
what i could do is i could have just one
grid
for my entire class or i could decide to
do
a group i'm sorry i could decide to do a
group for social studies a group for
science and a group for math it's kind
of up to you whatever works for you
as you can see here you want to add a
topic start the discussion
and share the join code so let's go
ahead in and
add a topic so the topic for this one
we're just going to say
um you know i'll just talk about the
weekend
so type that in obviously put a little
bit more
um and let's say how was your
weekend okay not the most stimulating
question but you understand
over in here you have anywhere from 15
seconds all the way down to 10 minutes
uh the defaults one minute and 30
seconds but if it's a
weekend maybe you want to do 30 seconds
over in here you can see the closed
captions
you could turn them off if you'd like um
yeah it does
it does a very good job of the closed
captioning but sometimes not available
if it was something where it was a
question of um
maybe explain what uh
you know i don't know explain what 5
times 5 is and
you could leave it moderated and then
when the student answered the question
you could un-moderate it so i'll show
that as well but what i'm going to do
here is i'm going to moderate this
meaning it's locked down no one's going
to see it but me
i can always release it for others to
see within the group as well
now in here you can see how you can add
media if you'd like to
so you could go ahead and let's just say
you wanted to
let's just do a
moon video on youtube let's just do this
one here
let's grab it let's go back
paste it in hit next and select
add so if we wanted to we could always
say hey watch this video about the moon
and what are three things you learned
about so you can always do that i'll
leave that in there for right now
over in here you can select another way
for participants to join we're going to
leave that off
but one thing to point out is right in
here these more options always important
to check the more options
and i'll show you why if you want you
could always add a link so if there's so
if there's a website or something you'd
like the students to go on you could
certainly do that
you could add a title you could add
another attachment if you'd like to do
that
do you have a topic status in here is it
active
which means they can go in and work on
it is it frozen
is it hidden entirely you can always
hide them so
they wouldn't see them and if it's
frozen they can still see
like if you did not moderate the
specific
uh topic or the videos going out they
could still watch the old videos
it's just they couldn't add to it again
schedule dates
in here when do you want it so when do
you want to be frozen
do you want it to freeze on you know
september 2nd
or 3rd or are you just like nah i don't
want to freeze it at all i'm going to
leave it
active these in here
something to point out email
notifications
again depending how you're using this
do you want it daily do you want a
weekly
every new video or never
again entirely up to you and the
situation
that that you're using this for so you
know maybe you want a daily one
again it's up to you once students have
done the videos over in here
do you want them to be able to download
their own after they create it
even if it's moderated they could still
download their own
okay so again that's up to you again in
here
um allow students to receive email
notifications when new videos are added
um up to you i leave that off that's me
and it's
whatever you'd like now here the video
features
all right i'm going to leave these on
but i just want you to see if you don't
like them
and you're not comfortable with using
them right away for the reason and there
would be
there'd be reasons why maybe in some
things maybe you wouldn't want
to have these things it's up to you you
could always just do
they can undo selfie they could do none
so on and so forth
over in here do you want them to be able
to trim delete and rearrange clips
i don't see why you wouldn't but there
could be a reason why video comments
do you want them to reply via video to
another student
again it can have great discussion
but again with the great power comes
great responsibility so
um that's going to be up to you and your
comf
comfortability that's word um with the
class
it may be something for for the very
beginning you leave off
and then over time when you all get
comfortable with this
you toggle it back on by specific by
specific topic
so again up to you again toggle it off
view count
personal opinion i take it off um
i don't think necessarily they need to
see it although there may be reasons why
okay uh sticky notes i leave on because
they could write notes
uh for themselves but again it depends
on the situation
do you want them to be able to add
attachment links
and likes again it's automatically
toggled off but you could toggle it on
if you want
i'm gonna leave it off okay and then
down in here
um there's gonna be kind of custom
feedback
and basic feedback i'm going to leave it
as basic feedback for right now just for
time
now we're going to create the topic so
the topic has been created it's ready to
go and it's
right here so what we're going to do
we're actually going to close out of it
so here it is how was your weekend now
yeah there's a video about the moon so
maybe we want to change that maybe we
want to
let's go in and say what did you learn
about the moon okay let's do that
and then we could say in here
list a tell at least
three things okay again not the best
question in the world but
okay so we updated topic now what we
want to do is we want to share this
you can also see in here it's moderated
so that's a little hand
also one more thing to point out i know
there's a lot in here but it's just
awesome immersive reader you'll see this
in a number of places
immersive reader is a microsoft tool and
if you select it and if your students
select it
what will happen is this will come up so
this is immersive reader
where it can go ahead through at least
three things okay so it can go through
it can change it to mail it can speed up
it can slow it down
a few more quick things just to show you
you can increase the text
size you can change the font you can
increase or decrease spacing
and you can even go ahead in and change
background now a few more things to show
you
grammar options it can do syllables
they're
not too many syllables in that one it's
going to show nouns verbs adjectives
adverbs so pretty cool to have that you
can take the labels off course you can
always do this as well and again this is
from the student point of view
and it's free now reading preferences
again align focus
it would focus in if you have a lot
there where it would focus in on one
line
take that off down in here best thing
now
you can go ahead and if we want to go
ahead and let's go to
check what we want to do is the whole
document
you can see right away
okay so they can see the original and
then they can see uh it translated this
as well so just want to show that that
is immersive reader
amazing tool uh also built into wakelet
and so many other things but i just want
to point that out
now if we want to share this we can go
right over here to share
and when we select share you can see
these options you can just do the join
link here
but then you can share a qr code so you
know you could always share it on a
poster or something like that in the
future where they could just scan it and
answer the questions
again up to you but for right now what
we're going to do we're going to share
the google classroom
and we're going to choose the specific
class i think we're going
into this one here choose action and
this one we're going to create an
assignment
select go and then we'll just call this
moon for right now
uh in this case you know we're going to
leave it
as you know ungraded
let me toggle that off we're not going
to have anything of course you have your
due dates and so on and so forth
let's go ahead in and make it do
september 3rd
okay now you have your options in here
too
just like with a regular google
classroom you can go ahead and do that
but what we're going to do now
is we are going to of course you can
always go in here and send a multiple
too so if you have more than one class
you want to send it to
of course you can do that but we're
going to go ahead and assign
now i'm going to show you from student
point of view what it looks like if
you'd like you can always view it so you
can see what it looks like
so if you can go into your class you can
see here it is it's due over in here
classwork
you can go in and see it so you posted
it properly so that's a nice thing
so as a student though let's go ahead
and let's take a look at it
so i'm going to select view my work okay
i have something about the moon
view details oh something with flip grid
again
class comments private comments private
comments go directly to the teacher
class comments are just that they are
comments that are for the whole
class let's go ahead in as a student
we have to join with google in this
example select
the specific name here it is okay so i
can
watch the video i can just select here
watch a video
i'm not going to take you through that
right now you can see that there are no
other responses down here you can also
see that it's moderated meaning they're
not going to be able to see it
as soon as the answer here's immersive
reader built in
we can record a spot of response i'll do
it very quickly for you
what i'm going to do here though is i'm
going to toggle off
my in the bottom right i'm going to
toggle my
video off hold on one second okay so i
just toggled the video off there
the webcam so we're going to select
flipgrid and then here it is we can
record our response so let's go ahead in
so now you're going to see here your
options you have 30 seconds to read it
or to um to have a response click
anywhere to dismiss so you can see your
options tell everybody
so right up in here just to show you
just as a reminder
this is the topic card so just as a
reminder if they ever forget
what they're asking because everybody
gets kind of excited when using flipgrid
especially at the beginning
also sticky notes you know moon
you know it's they can add a bunch of
the three different things the second
one is
whatever it may be down in here are your
options so in your options you could
upload a video
if you'd like go ahead and
mirror it so you know if you're pointing
somewhere this is really where you're
going to be pointing
it's kind of important it's kind of
helpful sometimes you could mute
you could also record your screen as
well these over here the effects this is
what i showed you where you could toggle
on toggle off
filters always fun but you know kind of
depends
on what your video is going to be if
it's a fun one filters awesome
if it's a serious one filters maybe not
frames
same thing kind of cool kind of neat um
but it's up to you
if you want them open or not again you
can toggle those off in those options
emojis
so it's you know you can see there are
tons of them i mean i can just scroll
through
and you can see there are so hey there's
the moon look at that
and a squirrel let's go ahead and i
could do that right there if i want to
if i want to
make it larger i can certainly do that
oh wow
i left that on that's nice uh so if i
want to remove things i can if i want to
go back and obviously remove the frame
that's better i can do that as well now
uh if i want to add some text i can go
through just do a classic text and i can
say
the moon and then i can move this around
where i'd like to
and make it bigger make it smaller and
do all those things or just
clear it you can also see with the
effects how you could go
in and um with this you can see the
different colors and the different
all those things so you can do that it's
up to you
if you want to leave them on leave them
off drawing
you know you can say hey look at this
right here
yeah especially if you have a whiteboard
or something behind you and you're
you know describing something you can
always undo things
if you want you can make things a little
bit larger too
if you want to do that so if you had
something a little bit bigger you can
always do that
and of course you could clear everything
and you can change the color
okay two more things whiteboard this is
a great one especially for teaching so
if you are teaching something and you
want to go ahead in
um what you could do is if you let's say
you had a if you uploaded a picture here
you could say hey
so here's what i want you guys to work
on do you know four
plus oh jesus terrible plus three i
won't use this large
um you know with seven well that looks
awful but you understand what i'm saying
obviously change the
thickness and what's right in red
so if i was to say something like you
know 14
plus 26
what is that okay guys 14 plus 26 i know
4 plus 6 is 10
so i'm going to put the 0 here now i
have to carry the 1 i'm putting it in
the tens column
so one ten plus two tens is two tens and
two plus two is four
so my answer is forty or four
tens so it's just nice to have and of
course you can always
with the white board which is really
kind of nice there with the with the
board
with the split screen you can make
yourself smaller almost disappear
or take over entirely so it is up to you
and of course you have cool
backgrounds or boards as well let's
clear this
then you have the photo you could upload
your own photo
so that being said let's go ahead in
and let's clear this board
okay here i am i'm just going to do
straight old boring mage talking about
the moon just for two seconds just this
example so there'll be a three two one
if you want to leave those um you could
always leave
the sticky notes up no one's going to be
able to see it but
you so it's kind of or the student i
should say
and they can add as many as they want
but again you could leave that on you
could take it off
if they want to pause they can pause and
then continue talking you can see right
up in here there's 15 seconds left
if i want i could go ahead and i could
scratch it
and just hit confirm you got this you
can try it again
so i'm just gonna do a quick you know
couple second one here
okay so here we are talking about the
moon what i learned about the moon
is that the moon is not made of cheese
okay i'm sure adam chantry would love
that um so let's go ahead on let's hit
next you can see i still have 24 more
seconds ago
but we're going to go on okay so here's
the review
what i learned about the moon all right
so if i would like to
okay i can't
i can trim portions of this if i'd like
to
or if i don't if i'm ready and i like it
just hit confirm
okay confirm or hit over again now i
have to add a selfie
again same things come up so kids love
all the emojis and all those things
not going to take you through that but
you can of course check that out um
i'm just going to take a picture in
let's close out of this
all right here we go uploaded video
so we can just say brad i'm not going to
put a link in our title
submit now we left this open you can see
how they can go ahead
and here's a direct link to that video
even though it is moderated so something
to point out
you can also download the qr code so if
you downloaded this
right in here cool thing download the
flipgrid
app on your mobile device and you can
get uh what's really kind of cool
is you'll be able to see augmented
reality if you don't have the augmented
reality on there and it's
maybe it's an older device um or maybe
you're scanning with a uh with a
chromebook
the video would still come up as well so
that's cool they could always download
it here as well so i want to point that
out
they could download the video and they
can download stuff again all those
options are in that options part
within the video or with it earlier that
i talked about we're gonna hit complete
so now it's been completed this is what
you would see as a student but you
notice
oh your video will be hidden until
approved by your educator so it's like
oh
okay it's going as the educator here we
are
flipgrid and what we want to do is we
want to go ahead in
and we want to see what has been added
so we scroll down
all these are going to come up in here
now remember how we left the views
off and we left the views off if you
ever do leave them
off or let's just say you
you go in for making something hidden to
active
so now it's active so if i went in as a
student what you're going to see is this
is going to pop up here let me just
refresh this
scroll down boom there it is so somebody
watch this
okay so here we are what i learned about
the moon
is that the moon is not made of cheese
okay okay so there we go
now it's not going to show them how many
views
um you can see closed captioning does
come up here just to show you that
but as a teacher you will see how many
views there are
so even though right now it's not
showing give it a little bit of time to
show that
a couple quick things to show you if you
want to print
all of the videos at once and qr codes
you could certainly do that
a little trick if you have a bunch of
them maybe you want to put it on
you know maybe a poster or something
like that just a tiny little trick
what you can do is change it to pages
you could
you could customize it you could go
ahead in and you could even go into the
more settings
and pages per sheet like you can have 16
of them um so they see how tiny it makes
it there
so then you could put that on on a
poster or something and it's real quick
and easy and they definitely work even
though they're tiny
okay so that is that's for that one so
now you could also go ahead in here you
could share
this this private link and to show you
that it works
what i'm gonna do is i'm going to copy
this so even though
let's go back for a second let's make
this moderated now so or hidden
um if i'd like to share this with uh
with family or
a principal or whomever i just copied
this link so it can still be shared
um so i'm going to go into an incognito
window that way i'm
definitely not logged in and you can see
here's the video
okay so here okay so there it is um
ready to be
shared event with um yeah who whomever
um that you would like to so you can see
that right there oh and here you go you
can see three views
so pretty cool now when you go back
there's so much in here um
if we go ahead back into flipgrid you
can see right in here
it's right here you can always search
your groups if you have a lot of groups
and then again to add more topics just
go in
add a topic you don't have to keep
adding uh
more and more groups it's up to you now
more information at the top you can
always go into discovery so many people
share so many things and if you don't
follow them on twitter or facebook
um there's even things dealing with um
with epic
wonderopolis uh if we go ahead through
you can see the matte you can see hour
of code near pod
breakout edu minecraft but then you can
even just search for trending topics or
whatever topics you'd like
it is up to you to search you can see
there are over 26 000 topics that have
already been created
in here there's also your activity
in your classes and let's show this one
grid pals would be almost like pen pals
um for the future if you're interested
we can always talk about that but shorts
shorts are awesome and why are shorts
awesome shorts are awesome because you
can make
nice pictures you could record a video
right away so if you want to create one
and send it on you could just do a
record a video
again you have 10 minutes and you can go
ahead in and just
start recording you know this would be
this would be something you could put
instantly inside of your google
classroom say good morning everyone
hope you all have an amazing day we're
going to be meeting here in a few
minutes and we're going to
be discussing just something amazing
okay so we're going to hit next i'm just
going to go ahead through
that's fine terrible picture all right
so here it is
so what i could do is i could just go
ahead
and i could just share it directly to
google classroom
so and i'll do that right now i'll put
it in and i'm just going to
make this an announcement and just hit
go
and say you know morning everyone
whatever it may be the post let's go in
as a student
let's go to the stream let's
search this okay so there it is
morning everyone we're going to click
right here here's a video how awesome
does that be
this would be something you could put
instantly inside so
that would be that's one of my favorite
features
um is that you could instantly just
share what you're thinking
directly into your classroom so students
know exactly what you're looking for
of course this does empower all student
voices um
and think about the kids or you know for
me myself
i would have loved flipgrid when i was
in school because
i was like in the back it was a little
shire and i didn't share as much even
though i had things to share
um you know took me a little while to do
that so
think about those students this allows
them to share their voice
so thanks so much for watching hope you
have a great night take care
