The Discovery Library: Find, share, and submit topics

The Discovery Library is a place where educators can find and share topics created by Flip partners or other educators. You can add the topics you discover to your own groups, create your own topics, and share topics to social media.

Important: Currently, the Discovery Library is only available on Flip.com. You cannot use the Flip app to access the library or submit your topics to it.

About the Discovery Library

Near the top of the Discovery Library page, you can find 2 tabs to help you discover new topics and manage topics you put in a Collection or you submitted.

  • Discovery Lightbulb.png tab: Explore and find new topics. There are various featured topics, partners, and creators that allow you to more easily find the topics that interest you or to share with your groups.
  • My Library Bookmark.png tab: Find all the collections of topics you created or topics you submitted. You can add new collections, submit new topics, and manage all your collections and submitted topics.

Explore with the Discovery tab

The Discovery tab is where you go to explore and find topics. You can find what Flip’s partners recently shared, browse various featured topics and creators, or use the search bar to search for specific topics.

As you find topics, you're able to add and share them to both the groups you created and social media. You can also create a collection, which allows you to save topics of a similar theme together. Collections help you find topics you want to personally revisit easier.

Featured topics, creators, and partners

The Discovery Library has multiple places where you can discover featured partners, topics, and creators. You can explore lists of topics that suit your interests and topics that are trending on Flip. You can also find a topic of the day and featured certified Flip ambassadors.

Flip is proud to partner with organizations around the world to curate topics for our community to use. Explore topics created by museums like The Met, support dyslexic students with Made by Dyslexia, utilize Wonderopolis who features a "Wonder of the Day" every day, or learn about how to be more diverse and inclusive with the Langston League. Discover all of Flip's partners.
