I love Flip because it allows equity of voice for my language learners. Flip empowers my students to confidently practice their language skills on their terms, at their speed, and with their identity honored.  Not all children learn in the same way, and Flip is one of the tools I use to help each of my students shine in the best way they can.

I use Flip for asynchronous conversations in the target language. Students post a video and use the reply feature to continue the conversation with each other.

I use Flip for speaking practice for my students at home.  Many of my students are very shy about speaking French in class. When I assign a Flip, they know that their recordings are for my eyes only and this really helps them get comfortable with speaking.  We make a portfolio of all of their speaking assignments over the entire year and they love to watch their own progress.

I use Flip to get to know my students throughout the semester and this starts before they even walk in the door! I ask them to record a very short introductory Flip so I can learn their names and one unique or interesting thing about them. This way I can pronounce their names correctly and start learning who’s who! Over the course of the semester, they create several more Flips, all with the goal of using Spanish to express our unique personalities and get acquainted with one another.

I love using Flip as a way to build my student’s confidence in their Spanish-speaking abilities while also allowing them to show their creative side through the use of filters and stickers. Additionally, I enjoy it when my students can watch each other’s videos and record feedback for their peers. It was a great tool to create community at the height of COVID that still works wonders now!

I use Flip in various ways in our language classroom, from getting-to-know-you introductions, creating mock weather forecasts, and group interactions, to using it as a platform for assessments. It’s also a great way to challenge stronger students or native speakers in the class by producing podcasts for other students to use as listening practice.

I love using Flip to facilitate my students connecting with other students abroad! It has introduced my students to colleagues from a variety of countries, like Turkey, Argentina, and the Philippines.

Flip helps give a voice to learners from all over the world while building classroom knowledge supported by real-life experiences. My multilingual learners listen to ideas from different parts of the world, reflect on their personal learning journeys, and provide feedback to each other through one easy-to-use, accessible, and reliable application.

I use Flip on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as a warmup. I ask my students a question, and they have to respond to it as best as they can in a video. It helps the students practice speaking while also giving them more experience with a quasi-public audience.
