Flipgrid

According to Flipgrid's website, "Flipgrid is where your students go to share ideas and learn together. It’s where students amplify and feel amplified. It’s video the way students use video. Short. Authentic. And fun!" We couldn't agree more! Bellmore-Merrick has provided each teacher with an educator account. BMCHSD teachers - check your email for instructions on how to signup. Flipgrid is super easy to use. Teachers create a "Grid' - that’s our classroom. Add a "Topic" to spark the discussion. Your topics are like your assignments and are completely customizable. Next, you share the topic code with your students. Then they use that code to share short video responses to ignite a dialogue.

Sample Flipgrid Topic

Your technology mentors (Ms. Stack, Ms. Tschan, Ms. Desmond, and Ms. Bretscher) created a topic called Mepham HS Teachers & Admin to introduce the faulty to all our students, incoming and current, and their families (see below).  Mepham teachers, administrators, and staff will continue to add their voices to this topic throughout the year and it will be ready to view at the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year.

Mepham's school-wide Flipgrid: #FlipgridBack2School

Now, students even have a fun place to record their videos in our Flipgrid pop-up tent in the school library.
