Flipgrid is a free, online platform that allows educators and facilitators to collect short video reflections from students and/or other program participants. Facilitators create “grids” that can be used to collect participants' responses to customized prompts. Participants record their own short videos to respond to a group discussion or question. One advantage of Flipgrid is its ability to get participants more comfortable with sharing their reflections. Flipgrid reflections can be collected from a defined group of people or through an open invitation.
