Microsoft Flip Quick Guide

 Exciting news..... I have lots more quick guides coming soon, in partnership with Microsoft. 


First up, is Microsoft Flip. 


Microsoft Flip is a video discussion and sharing app that is free. It is designed for educators to create safe, online groups for students to express their ideas asynchronously in short video, text, and audio messages. Teachers can create a group and invite students to join. They can control who is invited to become students of the group and what they can see. Topics are text or video instructions to prompt students to respond. Students can comment on each other’s video, text or audio messages or invite peers to build on their ideas.
