Try Flipgrid Mobile App

Flipgrid Mobile is fun, easy, and conveniently available using the Flipgrid App on your phone, tablet or iPad. Sometimes to learn more about Flipgrid I will go to the App on my phone and just click around and play with the platform and the various features, while sitting on my couch or riding in the car. Some students prefer using their phone for creating videos and this App supports that choice. Check out the layout and features of the Flipgrid App and I am sure you will see how quick and easy it is to get students creating, engaging, and collaborating with others while using their phones. Get started with Flipgrid Mobile!
