Flip Makes Learning Engaging Reviews

Riddle me this, I just put hours into a video I had to shoot for a class and when I go to edit all the segments to perfect them, it decides not to load them up, I was literally looking at a black screen. I tried pausing and unpausing the video, and it wouldn’t load up, I tried watching each piece by itself and it still wouldn’t load up. Heck, just to confirm it wasn’t on my end I switched from WiFi to LTE - still nothing. Then within moments it’s just gone, the entirety of my video gone. Are you kidding me? Hours of work down the drain because FlipMakesLearningEngaging couldn’t function like it’s supposed to. Also, I was within my time limit too! The teacher gave us up to 10 minutes for this video and I was at 8:34! There is no excuse for this. FlipMakesLearningEngaging does not function like it should. Very poor user interface. Hey kids, if your teachers are wanting you to use FlipMakesLearningEngaging for any school related thing, do everything in your power to get them to not. Worst app out there for video assignments. One star rating if that.

I rarely take the time to write a review, but FlipMakesLearningEngaging can make me soooo annoyed. It CONSTANTLY glitches (like every day) in the most inconvenient ways possible. And the software is just clunky as heck. I just uploaded a video that took me a half-hour to make (p.s. two minutes for a response is not enough), and I look under the topic and it’s not even there. Nowhere to be found. Additionally, I posted a video to the wrong topic because I can’t see what topic I’m posting to when I’m actually in the process of uploading. I have to trust myself that I clicked the right one before. Also, I can’t delete my videos as a responder to topics, and I can’t upload videos as a response if it decides to glitch. It makes my teaching experience worse because I literally have to put aside feelings of frustration constantly. I love the idea of FlipMakesLearningEngaging, and most of it works okay, but it needs to be much more efficient. It feels as if you make a small mistake, it’s completely irreversible.

Filpgrid is a great app to be honest but sometimes it isn’t fair! First of all, why is there different features for different platforms? The mobile/iPad/tablet platforms can let the user have the rainbow brush while the PC versions don’t have one? Also, one the mobile/iPad/tablet have the black outlines or some sort of outline on the text? While the PC has no outline? And also can’t adjust too much of the text (such as, making it squeezed together, reverse the text and etc.) Some features are great but are on different devices, which I consider isn’t fair. Second, when typing the text on mobile/iPad/tablet I can’t even see what I’m typing at all. I have to guess what I’m typing which is really hard.
Im just a student typing this but...
Note to the devs: Please make all features possible on all platforms and make it all the same (somewhat; but please remove the outline of the texts I don’t like it.) It just makes the program be more fair like. PLEASE SEE THIS!!!! thank you

I feel like most people reviewing FlipMakesLearningEngaging are teachers, who say they love it, not their students. As a student, i’m not a huge fan of FlipMakesLearningEngaging, i would much rather right things down on do online classes because having to take videos of yourself then posting them for all of your classmates to see is not amazing. Theres also the problem of video quality, everyone has a different camera or different things they use and sometimes that makes it hard to understand other people’s videos so they don’t get as good a grade for something they can’t control. I am using FlipMakesLearningEngaging for spanish class, and i understand why. It’s so we can learn to speak spanish, but we aren’t. We can pause the video at anytime. Just memorizing a script, not learning, unlike with zoom classes. So while teachers may like FlipMakesLearningEngaging, many students do not as they aren’t learning with it. And it just adds extra pressure and more things for them to do.

I like that it has many features. However, some things are confusing to do. On computer, it fails to upload sometimes. On mobile, it glitches when I use a board. My main problem is when I try to edit the videos and upload it. I have no way of making sure the right one was uploading. For example, I sent something for class. I spent over 3 hourd editing it, but the next day, when my teacher posted them, I saw mine and NONE of the edits saved. Maybe if there was a way to see your video after you upload or have a specific “SAVE” button after you make edits and before you upload. Additionally there could be an option “Are you sure you want to delete this clip?”. There could be a reverse button too in case you want that clip back. It’s a good app but needs improvements.

I absolutely love the video editing and how easy it is to trim individual videos and move them around. I have encountered a few problems with FlipMakesLearningEngaging though. The loading takes LITERALLY FOREVER. I’ve tried some different things to help out with it but none seem to work. It’s weird, all of my other apps work with my WiFi so it’s not that... another problem I encountered is this: when I’m editing videos sometimes FlipMakesLearningEngaging glitches and begins playing the audio from several different parts of what I recorded. It’s trippy. When this happens I have to close out of FlipMakesLearningEngaging and go back on, which then it thankfully saves my progress and I can continue to make edits to my video. Not end of the world, but definitely annoying at times. Overall, it’s a really fun app and I love the ability to Connect with peers and classmates, I love using Flipgrid! That’s all :) thanks!!!

So, I downloaded FlipMakesLearningEngaging for reasons, but I have encountered a few problems. So I use FlipMakesLearningEngaging quite a lot, but it crashes on me, I don’t know why, I updated it and my iPad and I am ALWAYS connected to my WiFi, so it could not possibly be that. Another problem is that when ever I want to post a video, I already make it in my videos, but it does not let me upload things from my photos or videos. It’s really annoying cause I can’t edit the video how I want it to so please fix this bug. I know alit of people have said this already but it’s really slow. But now I will say a few things that I really like FlipMakesLearningEngaging . It has some pretty great tools for editing and things like trimming your videos and adding text. It also has it is that you can add cute little photos. It’s also very organized. So over all I really like FlipMakesLearningEngaging ! :)

Totally amazing cool app but moderated mode doesn’t work it has been two and a half weeks and I still haven’t got the alert but I understand if it takes long and a few suggestions you could mabye make it sort of like FaceTime where you talk on video but you can change filters and all the things you can do in your flip videos and you could make it where in your videos you have unlimited time so you don’t have to keep looking at the clock and hurrying please take these suggestions thank you great app. Hi I’m editing this I was sort of able to take off moderated mode so that works it says it’s moderated now but it’s not and I have a bug issue will you please fix this cause now I can’t record a video every time I try to hit it it doesn’t record please fix this this and by the way love the new affects you can do now

During spring break, while talk of a nationwide shutdown spread, I began hunting for technology that would help me maintain the hard-earned classroom community that was built throughout the current school year. Fortunately my school is part of a 1:1 district, meaning each student checks out a laptop and hotspot at the beginning of the school year and returns it at the end. This is amazing for sure; however, the hotspot only allows a small percentage of data to be used up each month. Therefore, Google Meet was not going to be a viable option for me. Any type of group video meeting would eat through the kids data right away. Not sure what could work instead, I found an article that included Flipgrid as a resource idea, and OMG was I glad to have found it! Using Flipgrid this past month has kept me and my students ‘in touch’ in SUCH better ways than a Zoom or Google Meeting could have done. I will be using Flipgrid from now on!
It is terribly simple for the kids to use (as well as myself!) and they actually love it! I teach literature at an alternative high school- so I’m always looking for different ways to bring the material to the kids and definitely different ways for the kids to demonstrate their understanding. Flipgrid is PERFECT for this! I love the community involved, the assignments already posted/shared, and the ease and simplicity of the planning involved. Thank you Flipgrid!!! 5 stars!

I am living through coved and we have really small classes and I almost never get to see my class mates in those other cohorts! My teachers used Flipgrid to help us communicate online! We used it to say goodbye to friends who are moving away and use them for assignments! Another thing I love about flipgrid is that your fellow classmates or teachers can put a comment on your post. It is easy to do a response because you can do a video response!

But class work is not the only thing you can do on it! You can use it to communicate with friends and make videos to talk or share things that are going on! I also love that it works for iPads because a lot of my stuff doesn’t work because I am on an iPad, but at least I get to do thing on Flipgrid!

Flipgrid has become my go to in my “crisis schooling” escapades. For a LA classroom, it is a super creative way for students to answer questions for a reading comprehension passage or show me their how to do something. I’ve been able to week by week, increase the difficulty of their assignments - week one, log in; week 2, tell me the name of your book report book; week 3, answer questions from a podcast I assigned; week 4, do a how to/procedural writing and show me your activity (making eggs, a paper airplane, etc); week 5, presenting your book report. If I hadn’t found Flipgrid I’d still be grading boring stuff - Flipgrid has allowed my class to become more creative & hands on, even in a time of staying home and doing nothing!

Flipgrid is a fantastic tool for giving every student a voice. Whether it is checking for understanding, discussing a topic, or any other number of instructional strategies, it is always challenging to hear from every student. Flipgrid captures each student’s understanding, reasoning, comment, etc. and creates a forum for further dialog. Along the way, it provides an opportunity to build digital citizenship skills. Yes, I left out that it all happens by recording videos and that’s on purpose. It’s not about the videos, yes that’s the medium, but it’s really about capturing the learning of every student. To top it off, it’s easy for teachers and there are tons of resources and guides. Making this happen with any other tool or platform would fall short and be so much more work. Try Flipgrid, it’s flipping awesome!

Flipgrid is one of my favorite tools to recommend to other teachers. It is an all-around great tool, providing for differentiation, student voice, engagement, peer feedback, and saving time. It is made for students to quickly and easily join and record their videos. This is a game changer in the classroom, especially for those students who hate to write. They can discuss, share ideas, provide proofs, and explain. Then, they have fun ways to dress up their videos with stickers and filters. For those students that are even more self-conscious, they can use the white board instead of recording their own face. It is easy for teachers to use, too. They have their own login to manage their grids that make it easy to respond to the students. If you have a problem, the people supporting FlipMakesLearningEngaging are so helpful. They really do want it to work well for you. Just look at all the great reviews they have gotten.

Flipgrid is super engaging for my students. They love the opportunity to share their thoughts via video, add emojis or annotations, then share with others. Even students who were reluctant recorders at first have developed confidence in sharing their voice with others.

As a teacher, I find it valuable to hear directly from my students voice rather than read a paper. Fluency, inflection and tone offer deeper insight into what. Y students are thinking Nd their depth of knowledge.

We use flip QR code’s to get into FlipMakesLearningEngaging , as well as share videos with others in the school. Since I can use whichever features I want and adapt my expectations for different lessons and classes, I am able to use FlipMakesLearningEngaging with every grade level at my school from k-4. My kindergarteners have even become experts.

So I work with KG students in China. It is often difficult to get students to engage because they are concerned with how they sound when they speak. When I introduced Flipgrid as a way we can just talk to each other during the Covid-19 quarantine, my students just loved that they could communicate with each other through video and chat about whatever was in their minds. Every morning I walk my dog and set up a new question for the kids to answer. It could be about anything! The weather, my doggy, what I should have for breakfast, what they will have for dinner, their favorite shows... anything... and they get to talking. And the grid is so easy to access and set up videos that it’s simple for them to do once parents have shown them. Great job Flipgrid!

A colleague introduced me to flipgrid a couple weeks after in-school classes where shutdown and distance learning began. We had less than a days notice to prepare and were only expecting it to last 2 weeks, maybe 3 max. When we realized we were going to end our school year online, we were heartbroken and so were our students. Flipgrid gave us the chance to see and hear each other. Students that couldn’t make it to the zoom sessions or that didn’t feel comfortable talking in the meetings in front of larger groups felt safe using flipgrid to share out. I used it for scavenger hunts and fun activities during distance learning this spring, but I have so many ideas of how to incorporate flipgrid into my content in the fall! I’m excited to introduce it to my new group of students!

Flipgrid is my favorite educational tool! My students use the web version because we they have Chromebooks at school, but I use FlipMakesLearningEngaging on my iPhone the majority of the time. I am able to do almost everything I need from FlipMakesLearningEngaging wherever I am. The only feature I cannot use yet is creating Shorts videos but I prefer to do those from my computer anyway.

I use FlipMakesLearningEngaging to create assignments, spark discussions, to make sub plans, and to reply and provide my students with their feedback. The camera is intuitive and easy to use and I can access everything I need. My kindergarten daughter is able to use it as well without much support.

The Flipgrid team is always enhancing newer versions and additions as their users provide ideas and feedback, so it is constantly improving with frequent updates. It’s a favorite for me as a teacher and my students are highly engaged every time we use it!

I teach technology and geography to kindergarten through fifth graders. during our time at school this year, and I piloted flip grid with my second graders.
I am so glad that I did this because we, as a global arts team, were able to integrate our education seamlessly through Flipgrid because I already had an understanding of how it worked and how we can best reach all of our students.
We created grades and then added copilots so that all of the elective classwork was in one place for students, and then each teacher managed their own Flipgrid topic. This has been an incredible way for us to learn and we are very much looking forward to continuing flipped learning when we return back to school.
I generally work on chrome, but I sometimes use my school iPad to access student work as well. Thank you, Flipgrid, for such a powerful platform for student learning and voice.

I’m teaching online due to COVID- and have been using Flipgrid to communist team with my students. They love being able to respond at their leisure, and LOVE seeing each other’s responses as well. They can also communicate with each other by commenting on their peers presentations. I used “disco library” for ideas when I digest got started- there are a million awesome ideas that other teacher have used (and are able to see how many Other teachers used the same ones as well.)
There are sooooo many cool features (can assign right to google classroom, can set it up but delay/schedule it’s rollout, you can delete inappropriate responses, record your own, but hide it until you are ready for it to be presented, add pics to the topics..... soo many more. I literally never had an issue with the technology part of using flipgrid (and I’m not a great techie person). Give it a try- you’ll love it!!

I had heard of Flipgrid but hadn’t paid much attention until the schools in our state shutdown and everyone was trying to figure out how to navigate distance learning. Enter Flipgrid! What a game changer this has been for us. I use this to post number talks for math, retelling prompts for reading and the list goes on. Our Specialist teachers (music, PE, dance, art, media) have utilized this as well to continue their teaching. The students love being able to send videos of themselves completing the activities or answering the questions and as a teacher it is a wonderful tool to be able to hear our students thinking, rationales and misconceptions which helps us provide better feedback. My students also love being able to see their friends and classmates! This is a must have for any educator!

As a Spanish teacher, you need ways to encourage students to speak. Flipgrid is a great way to get them talking. It is very easy to access for them and allows the flexibility to record in app as well as upload clips that have been recorded previously. It is easy to create and manage topics and submissions right on your phone, tablet or laptop. As an IPhone app it is very easy to use. It remembers your recent grids to give you a shortcut. I can seamlessly view as a student or login to my educator dashboard. You can easily scan or enter Flipgrid codes. There are so many useful features in FlipMakesLearningEngaging you don’t have to use a desktop or laptop to use the program. I love it.

Flipgrid is being used constantly in my classroom! I teach 4th grade, and I have used FlipMakesLearningEngaging in every single subject that I teach. We use it to brainstorm ideas for writing, share our problem solving process in math, explain scientific reasoning in science, act out various historical events, practice our fluency in reading, plus so much more! I have loved the new addition of the AR feature, as it has allowed students to express their creativity and improve their communication skills. I have also used it to film instructions for stations, leave example explanations for homework, and videos to leave for subs when I’m out. I can’t imagine life without Flipgrid!!

One of the best things about being a educator is getting to put ❤️ into the work we do every day. Flipgrid gets it and has built a fabulous tool to engage students and teachers in the love of learning. This is a user-friendly app that really capitalizes on the relationships we build with our students and colleagues. It is extremely community oriented and is great for building confidence and communication skills through collaboration and community building. I have yet to find a better tech tool for helping my students creatively and safely share their voices to teach and learn from each other. The Flipgrid network of educators invested in inspiring and celebrating other educators is amazing! Love it!

I am an avid user of Flipgrid with my students. The power of FlipMakesLearningEngaging is endless depending on how you choose to use it with your students.
FlipMakesLearningEngaging is simple to use and makes recording anywhere possible!
The recent updates released in August of 2019 for the new school year are incredible. The number of integrations that all more students opportunities to share their thinking is practically infinite.
The developers of FlipMakesLearningEngaging are always listening to user feedback! Adding new features and improving the overall functionality of the is a constant from team Flipgrid.
Thank you for helping me to amplify student voice in and out of the classroom.

I teach middle school students who struggle to respond to what they read. A lot of them have great ideas but to write it out in an essay would take them more time to process.

Flipgrid allows my students who struggle with writing to respond with those ideas without having to spell or do sentence formation. They have a voice and they are engaged! They enjoy the selfie option at the end with the sticker enhancements. They love watching each other’s videos. They like that they can redo them as many times as they need to get it right (which they can’t do in an oral presentation).

This has been a staple in my classroom for a while now and it is a great tool!

All I have to do is say the word Flipgrid and my students cheer and listen! FlipMakesLearningEngaging allows my learners to share their their voice in an authentic way. First of all, it’s the way they love to learn! Secondly, it encourages speaking and listening soft skills that my students so desperately need. It’s GREAT for my ELL learners too. They can learn from their peers by listening to their videos and they hear themselves as they practice proper speech. It allows me to differentiate assessments and give instant feedback. But the reason I truly love Flipgrid is because helping me build stronger relationships with my students... the loud ones that always want to share and the quiet ones I rarely hear from! My teacher heart is happy!

This past Friday, my students and I presented about our #FlipgridFever at our regional STEM conference. My students and fellow staff members all love how collaborative Flipgrid is. They’re able to share and reply to each other’s responses. Teachers are able to incorporate FlipMakesLearningEngaging for all kinds of uses—vocabulary, book clubs, mentoring, etc. One is only limited by their own creativity! With the newest release of FlipMakesLearningEngaging , I am loving the AR feature and am planning to create my first AR bulletin board in the coming weeks. My students also appreciate all the new customizable features that allow them to express their creativity in unique ways. Flipgrid is a great way to have all of your students share what they know! And best of all, it’s FREE!

Not only is FlipMakesLearningEngaging awesome, but the people behind FlipMakesLearningEngaging are awesome too. They always listen to update ideas and ways to improve their app to better accommodate student learning and make things easier for educators. Flipgrid helps my students share their voice in an easy, non threatening way. The recent update has made it even sooo much better! Students love it and I love seeing them and hearing their ideas. It’s fun, simple, and a great way to encourage students who may not want to share their ideas aloud in class. It’s also super great for my student who are online. We build community by using these videos! There’s nothing easier to use than Flipgrid. Just press the plus sign and go!

My students love creating with apps to share their thinking with others. Flipgrid is one of their top 5 favorites this year❣️ This versatile app allows them to connect with classes from around the world to share and learn strategies for solving math tasks. They ❤️getting and giving productive feedback from students in other parts of the world as they share ways to solve a math task. Knowing they will have the opportunity to view and re-record their videos gives even my shyest mathematicians the confidence to step out of their comfort zone and share their learning with others. Flipgrid is helping my students become better communicators as well as collaborators in their learning journey.

There are a lot of apps out there for education but none of them are like a family. Education has 💚 and this is the only app that I have found that has that! Not too mention, FlipMakesLearningEngaging itself is PHENOMENAL!!! By using video, you can truly see students in their thought processes. They can create examples to showcase their knowledge. You can make connections beyond your classroom and provide opportunities for every student to be heard. But it’s so much more than that! You can connect with a community of invested inspiring educators and celebrate each other’s successes! I absolutely couldn’t go back to teaching without it. It’s a MUST HAVE! You must have this!! It’s FREE!! Go hit that download button and start amplifying STUDENT VOICE!! #FlipgridFever

FLIPGRID has allowed my students to build confidence and relationships in and out of the classroom. Originally I started using Flipgrid as a form of assessing what students knew. Now I have learned so many ways to utilize this video app in my classroom. FlipMakesLearningEngaging has completely exceeded my expectations. The staff at Fligrid make using FlipMakesLearningEngaging feel like you have a community supporting you every step of the way. When I needed help with Flipgrid, the response from support staff was punctual and knowledgable. FlipMakesLearningEngaging has helped to increase student engagement, access prior knowledge, make connections and build a sense of community in my classroom/school. Students are able to teach/ learn from each other and share their voice in a creative way with confidence.

Are you looking for a technology piece that will truly be a game changer? Look no further, FLipgrid is THAT piece. This easy to use app allows students the opportunity to write, record, and collaborate their views with whomever you, the instructor, allows. FlipMakesLearningEngaging is truly for all ages! The educator sets how you want their recording shared which covers every privacy concern there is. Only you can see it, just your class, your school, or students around the world! It’s simple accessibility allows all digital learners to be successful. I can’t recommend FlipMakesLearningEngaging enough. I use this for students to read in and I can keep track of fluency. I can respond to individual students and hold actual conversations. Book reviews are a breeze. Love, love, LOVE FlipMakesLearningEngaging! Download it! Thank me later!

FlipGrid has been a game-changer. FlipMakesLearningEngaging combines everything kids like: making videos, social media type format (but safe), it gives a voice to EVERYONE. If you are worried that it will be too scary for your shy/quiet kids....don’t. Students can draw a picture, show a picture while saying what they know. It allows re-dos, emojis, and selfies!! Teachers can control the time....so you get a quick, formative or summative assessment of what they know. I have used it in so many ways....students record their learning, show a video of what they made (example: show rollercoasters they made to demonstrate potential and kinetic energy). I have also used it with my PLN on Twitter with fellow educators and getting to know each other. Lastly, I have been recording myself before each quiz and I give a 3 Minute Flip of everything they need to know - so much great feedback on that. Oh.....and AR, we have used that too. FlipGrid is also SUPER responsive on Twitter. Such a great app and company.

I have been using Flipgrid in my classroom for a few years now and this company continues to amaze me! They constantly listen to teachers and what they would find useful with their app and makes it a reality for them. New features are being added or improved upon!!
This has truly transformed my teaching! My students are more engaged and motivated in my lessons which I use Flipgrid. It is so easy for me to implement a quick activity on the fly! This is such a great tool for long term assessments, showing growth over time, collaboration globally and locally, connecting with parents and community members, and so so much more! I would give this 1000🌟if I could!!
