FlipgridAR

You maybe a pro at using Flipgrid in your classroom or you maybe new to the world of Flipgrid, either way you are going to want to stick around to learn how to integrate more into your Flipgrid usage.

Have you ever heard of AR? Augmented reality. It’s the idea of taking virtual elements and presenting them in the physical world. Think back to a few years ago when Pokemon Go was all the rage. People could take their phone, hold it up, and “see” various Pokemon in their neighborhood, park, house, or really anywhere. The phone acted as a tool to visualize something around you that wasn’t actually there.

Flipgrid has taken this technology and created a way for teachers to use AR in their classrooms. You maybe wondering how this is applicable in your classroom.

Just wait.

Have you ever walked around your own school and seen posters and papers on bulletin boards? Ok, we all have. Now have you ever wondered what type of work went behind that one piece of paper?

As teachers we all know a lot of work goes behind the final product, but how can we share that with others? Flipgrid AR.

After students create videos in Flipgrid, the teacher has access through their Educator Admin account to download a QR code for each video. You can tape the QR codes beside the student’s final product. As administrators, parents, and other teachers walk through the hallway all they need is their phone to pull up the video to listen to all of the learning behind that final product that is displayed!

Is your mind blown?! Mine certainly is. It is a game changer because you can bring student voice back to a stagnant product.

You maybe wondering how you can utilize this tool in your own classroom. Checkout this list:
