FLIPGRID

Overview:
A storytelling tool designed by Microsoft specifically for engaging verbal discussion in a digital classroom. The idea behind this education tool is to use video to create an open platform of discussion and learning that doesn't require a physical classroom to get everyone involved. That makes Flipgrid an ideal remote learning tool as well as a powerful homework based application for students to use with each other from any location. Students create video with voice over and share with their peers and teacher. The class can comment on video posts, giving peer feedback and sharing thoughts and ideas collaboratively. This tool is completely free!
