Flip formerly known as Flipgrid Is Going Away

 Teachers and students across the district have been sharing on Flip for the past few years.  It was a real lifesaver when COVID sent us all home in 2020!  Sadly, it will not be available after September 30, 2024.  Hurry and save your archived videos before it's too late!

If you were an avid user of the Flip program, we do have some work arounds.

• Record and upload student videos into a shared Slide Deck.
• Use Canvas Discussion Board if you want your students to view each others videos.
• Use the new Screencastify Submit feature.  Click here for FAQ from Screencastify Squad.
