Flip Basics 💻📱🖥
Are you new to Flip? Get Started Here.
Here are the basics: When you set up your account, you’ll first create a Topic for your learning community. Topics are discussion prompts that your members respond to with short videos. Members then Record a Response and post their video or view and Add a Comment to one another’s Responses.
Groups are a great way for leads to organize multiple Topics and share them with a community of members. Invite your members to respond to an individual Topic or to access your Group of Topics by sharing the Join Code or Link.
Flip is available on the web or via our iOS or Android app.
Flip in Health and Physical Education 🤸♀️
In Physical Education and Health, members develop competency in motor skills and movement patterns, responsible personal and social behavior, and physical, personal, family, and community health. Flip allows members to explore and demonstrate understanding while making learning relevant and fun. Here are a few ways Flip can ignite engagement and capture your members’ learning process:
⭐️ Demonstrate the knowledge/skills of a health-enhancing level of physical activity.
⭐️ Explain the value of physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, and self-expression.
⭐️ Identify and set goals to enhance health.
⭐️ Analyze the influence of family, peers, culture, media, and technology on health behaviors.
⭐️ Showcase a variety of motor skills and movement patterns.
⭐️ Articulate what responsible personal and social behavior looks like.
⭐️ Explain how to access information, products, and services to enhance health.
Once you’re ready to create your first Topic to explore mathematical thinking, you can dive right in from your Educator Admin or head to the Discovery Library for inspiration. Here is a sampling of Health and PE Topics currently available in the Disco Library, all created by fellow leads and ready to be used with your learners!
