classroom.
Flipgrid is available to use on all platforms (iOS,
Android, and the web) and is easy to get started using
right away. In this ebook the screenshots are taken
from the web version of Flipgrid, but the functions
described are the same regardless what version you

These are required. The description or question is the prompt students will read to
know what to respond to.

Flipgrid Explorer SeriesThe Flipgrid Explorer Series is a way for
students to connect and engage with people
doing interesting things around the world.
These events give students the opportunity to
learn from experts all over the globe and allow
them to experience what it is like to be in a
career they may otherwise have never even
thought of!
The first explorer was Laura
Goetz, a marine biologist
stationed at Palmer Station in
Antarctica. How cool is that?
Check Flipgrid.com/antarctica
and all of the incredible students
who engaged in the discussion.
The second Explorer was Mike
Billington, a raptor expert with the
University of Minnesota Raptor
Center. Mike gave students a bird’s
eye view into the world of Raptors
and discussed wildlife
conservation. Visit his grid at
flipgrid.com/raptors.
Flipgrid has LOTS of amazing explorers lined up to take
your class on an incredible virtual adventure! Be sure to
follow @Flipgrid or check out blog.flipgrid.com/news to
get the 411 on the next explorer in the series.
