Overall Satisfaction with Flipgrid

I use Flipgrid with my students in responding to prompts and assignments. It allows students in our classrooms to be able to respond to us without having to speak in front of a room full of their peers. It gives them the opportunity to record their response in a private setting and having the ability to express themselves with fear of failure in front of others.
  • Ease of use for students.
  • Teacher support and community encouraged by the company.
  • Students can get carried away with stickers and filters with their recordings.
  • Issues arise if students have to use older devices.
  • Flipgrid provides our students with a sense of accomplishment with their videos.
  • Students enjoy creating their own product.
Flipgrid gives students the ability to create their own products. Nearpod provides teachers with the platform to send lessons and information out to students, where Flipgrid is the way for students to respond to questions and prompts by their teachers. It allows them to create their video and their response. It does not have to be a slide show with snippets added in.
Flipgrip is great for supporting educators. They provide opportunities for teachers to learn the program and become ambassadors for the program. They are also responsive to questions and concerns through many different modes. That includes online communities, email, and Facebook communities. They are eager to meet and troubleshoot with you and are also eager to meet educators at conferences and meetings.

Flipgrid is well suited for all types of classrooms. Flipgrid is free for teachers to create accounts and use them with their students. It is a great option to use with all students or to utilize with students who do not feel comfortable sharing their answers in front of a class. It also provides a differentiated way for students to complete projects and assignments.

Evaluating Flipgrid and Competitors

  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Prior Experience with the Product
We have several staff members that used Flipgrid in prior schools. The recommendations and positive feedback help to encourage staff members who were unfamiliar to feel comfortable to try and implement it.
We would not change any part of our evaluation and selection process.

Flipgrid Reliability

This product is straightforward to implement and share across our building and district. As a large district, it was not difficult to train staff and have them feel at ease implementing the program.
We have never had issues with the Flipgrid platform being unavailable during the school day.
Flipgrid has been easy for both our students and staff to use. When there is an issue with the program, we can easily reach support, and the trouble is resolved in an extremely quick and timely manner.
