Have You Seen the Awesome New Flipgrid Updates?

My favorite digital tools connected to student engagement and learning include
Adobe Spark , Flipgrid, Google Classroom, Padlet, Pear Deck, and G Suite EDU. You can do it all with these resources with a dash of your favorite formative assessment tools.

I was excited to explore the recently announced Flipgrid updates for the 2020 school.  These updates are awesome and will enhance how educators engage students in creative student voice. 

Here are a some highlights. You can see all the updates for 2020 here.

• Flipgrid has partnered with their friends at Adobe to make Spark videos play right inside Flipgrid Topics!
• Flipgrid is now spotlighting a Topic of the Day to jumps start engagement with students and a new Wonder of the Day in partnership with their friends at Wonderopolis.
• Split-screen recording is now available, with a video on one side and a board on the other!
• It is now easier to view and respond Topic prompts. Videos have more space on the screen and will play right from in the Topic view.
• Flipgrid still has Grids, only now they’re called Groups. Groups allow learners to access multiple Topics with a single Join Code. Existing Grids are now listed as Groups.
• Coming Fall 2020 is a new commenting feature. Teachers and students will be able to reply to one another’s videos with both text and video.
