  **Tool Name: **Flipgrid.com (http://flipgrid.com/)** **
  
  **Short Description: **Flipgrid is a video response/discussion platform that, with some educator creativity, can have many valuable uses in the classroom. Flipgrid lets students record themselves (using a device webcam) and then edit, comment, and share their video response on the classroom flip "Grid." Flipgrid also has a teacher approve feature that allows educators to approve the videos before posting them to the Grid. Students can "flip the camera" and pause the video while recording with unlimited retakes. Students can also add graphics, custom stickers, and other visuals to design a student selfie for the Grid. A title and link can also be added to the completed videos. Class Grids can even be shared as a community portfolio. Flipgrid can also be integrated into Google Classroom.
  
  **Examples of Uses: **Almost limitless!
  
  * As an icebreaker "all about me" activity after students return from summer break.
  * As a video response to a reading prompt that could be shared with other flipgrid students from other geographical regions/ countries. This would expose students to different perspectives and help them develop a more global perspective.
  * As a reading prediction prompt that could be revisited by students later in a class read aloud.
  * As a platform that would allow students to "act out" the role of a historical/ biographical figure in a social studies or reading lesson/unit.
