Why are we using it?
Flipgrid is an excellent way to have a shared discussion in video format with comments. Students get a wider audience for their ideas in an efficient way for teachers. We should add links to the grids they create in their Veracross assignment descriptions so that parents/support teachers will have access. Be careful not to take away from existing tools (e.g. it may be best to continue using Seesaw or blogs/portfolios for certain things).
