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 students respond to with short videos. Students 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 educators to organize multiple Topics and share them with a community of learners. Invite your students 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 High School Language Arts 📖📝
In high school Language Arts, students learn to analyze texts and world literature, summarize central ideas and themes, evaluate arguments and claims, and present information with strategic use of digital media. Flip provides a fun, social way to engage your students on any of your Language Arts lessons! Here are a few ways that Flip can be integrated to ignite engagement and capture your students’ learning process:
⭐️ Analyze and discuss various texts to determine theme, distinguish the impact of point of view, and explain inferences.
⭐️ Evaluate and share how author’s choices contribute to the structure and meaning of a text.
⭐️ Demonstrate the understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuance.
⭐️ Share arguments to support claims and convey complex ideas from informative text.
⭐️ Explain the evidence drawn from text to support analysis, reflection, and research.
⭐️ Use digital media in presentations to enhance understanding, reasoning, and findings.
⭐️ Respond thoughtfully to diverse perspectives and justify points of view.
Once you’re ready to create your first discussion Topic, you can dive right in from your Educator Admin or head to the Discovery Library for inspiration.
