The multimedia video discussion edtech tool, Flip (formerly Flipgrid), is an interactive and engaging platform that can be used for creative lesson plans that promote critical-thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration.

Flip has many features and learning enhancements. For an overview, check out "What is Flip And How Does it Work for Teachers".

While this is a sample Flip lesson plan for upper elementary and middle school students that is focused on digital storytelling in an English Language Arts class, Flip can be effectively leveraged in all content areas to provide instruction, help students develop skills, connect with one another, and assess their depth of knowledge.

Subject: English Language Arts

Topic: Digital Storytelling

Grade Band: Upper Elementary/Middle School
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

Create and present a digital story that includes a beginning, middle, and end

Provide a peer with an alternative ending suggestion to their digital story

Starter
Set-up the Flip prior to the lesson. Simply log into your Flip account and "Create a Group." Be sure that you click the "Active" instead of "Hidden" option so your students can engage in the discussion on the Flip. Once you have created the group, you can change the cover image and name. You might want to have the cover image correspond with the group name, which would make it easier to locate the Flip if you end up using it regularly throughout the year. You can also create different topics within the Group.
Teacher Modeling
Using a teacher-created Flip Short, explain to students the elements of storytelling. Key vocabulary words to cover include "plot," "characters," and "climax." Flip shorts allow you to record videos directly from your computer with screen capture capabilities (). In your Flip Short, you can review the differences between a traditional story and digital storytelling, as well as other ways digital storytelling can be used. Encourage students to asynchronously post their questions regarding the lesson directly to Flip.

Guided Practice

In your English Language Arts class, have students work on drafting a short story, a few paragraphs or pages, depending on grade level. The story topics can be about fairy tales, historical events, or original works created by students. The goal is for students to include a story plot that includes a beginning, middle, and end (climax). Students can use to draft their stories, and can work individually or collaboratively with their classmates in a "think tank" set-up.
Flip Creation
Students will use the stories they crafted in the Google Doc to create a digital story through Flip. Flip works with many different multimedia tools that can be used to enhance their digital stories. Videos can be uploaded, and then filters, boards (backgrounds), frames, and animated effects can be used. Accessories and emojis can be added to give characters or the story its own look. There are also American Sign Language and text options that can complement the narrative.
Peer Interaction
After each student, or team of students, have created and shared their Flip grids, have each student watch the digital stories of at least one other student, and leave comments with a suggestion on an alternative ending or additional character that could complement the story.

How Will Students Access Flip to Add Their Digital Story?

Students can access Flip through the link or embed code that automatically generates when you create the group or topics for the lesson. You can also post the code within the LMS for online courses or create a that is generated by Flip for in-person classes. Other automatically generated options provided by Flip include a direct link to , a share link for the app, or a post to Twitter.

Technical Considerations

Think about the way you want your students to access the Flip and provide them with secure permissions with either their student email or username, or through Google Classroom if your school has an account.

Notifications are also something to consider. You need to decide if you want to be notified daily, weekly, never, or after every new video and comment. Additionally, if you do not want students to receive notifications when they receive new responses and comments to their videos, be sure to turn off group notifications for new responses and comments when you create the group.

Padlet is an online bulletin board where students can post notes, images, and videos. It fosters collaboration through shared content and discussions.

Pros: Easy to use, encourages creativity, and supports multimedia content.

Cons: Limited free features; students may post inappropriate content without proper moderation.

Examples: Students can collaborate on research projects, create timelines of historical events, or share reflections on cultural topics.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Padlet is a multidimensional, yet easy-to-use online platform and interactive space that can enhance any learning experience. Padlet can be used as an alternative to note taking using pencil and paper or even Microsoft Word, as an online curation tool, as a collaborative space for team projects (opens in new tab), or as a way for students to demonstrate their learning.

The intuitive nature of Padlet makes for seamless use of its many features. For an overview, check out "What is Padlet And How Does it Work for Teachers and Students" (opens in new tab).

Below is a sample lesson plan for middle and high school students that is focused on social studies. While this is just one idea for using Padlet for teaching and learning, the utility of Padlet can transcend across grade bands and subject areas.

Subject: Social Studies

Topic: Historical Events

Grade Band: Middle and High School
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

Identify primary and secondary sources connected to a historical event

Digitally document artifacts related to a historical event

Pre-Planning
Before facilitating the lesson, create a screencast (opens in new tab) for students explaining how to login and make a blank Padlet. Depending on what email platform your students use, they may be able to log in using their existing Google, Apple, or Microsoft account. Or, students can set-up a free account or use the Backpack user entry point if your school has a Padlet license.

There are seven different Padlet layout options: wall, stream, grid, shelf, map, canvas, and timeline. You can decide whether to allow students to choose the layout or you can assign a specific layout depending on the assignment. For this social studies lesson on historical events, it might be useful to recommend using the timeline layout.
Padlet Creation
More often than not, historical events are presented as these singular moments without going into detail beyond dates, location, and important figures. With Padlet, deeper learning can take place and allow for students to learn more comprehensively about these happenings.

During social studies class, students can create a Padlet that digitally documents various artifacts related to a historical event being studied. Using the "post composer" feature on Padlet, students can type in a word and search for related images, GIFs, YouTube video, Spotify audio, and webpages. This is a chance for students to practice being critical consumers of online content and discern the difference between primary and secondary sources.

Have students follow a rubric which outlines the criteria for the content that they need to have on their Padlet, which may include all or some of the following related to the historical event an/or time period:

Speeches or letters

Image or artwork

Documents, legislations, or decrees

Podcasts or audio files

Video or documentaries

As students gather content for their historical event Padlet, they can drag and drop it to the position on the Padlet that they would like. They can also add notes to each artifact by using audio, video, images, or typing text. In this way, students are not just posting different types of content to the Padlet but they are also demonstrating to you that they understand what the artifact is and its relation to the historical event.
Sharing Padlet
Once students have completed their Padlets, they can share with their classmates via a URL link, (opens in new tab), embed code to be placed within the class LMS, or through email. If students are focused on different historical events, then the other students can learn about each event by engaging with their classmate's Padlet. Even if students are covering the same happening, they will likely have different content and can learn more about it through a different lens.

Be sure to have students select the visitor permissions as "secret" so the public cannot access the Padlet but those who are given permission (i.e. other classmates) can. Students and teachers can also decide if they want peers to just read, write comments, or edit the shared Padlet.

How Can All Students Work on One Padlet Together?

As an alternative to students working on individual Padlets, they can all contribute to one class Padlet on a historical event. This would be a great project for studying significant incidents that lasted for a long period of time or that have a large amount of related content. Look at your school's social studies curriculum and use that as a guide to choosing which events to cover.

Since Padlet is online and has an autosave feature, students do not need to be in the same physical space to work with one another, which makes Padlet a great choice for connecting in-person and online students in dual audience learning environments.

Tech Inclusion Tips

One special feature of Padlet is that it is available in 42 languages. Use Padlet in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes and with English Language Learners. Sample Padlets can be created in the student's home language as a model, or students in language classes can create their Padlets in the language that they are studying.

You may want to also consider using Padlet as a message and document board for families of your students whose first language is not English. Additionally, because of the visual nature of Padlet and ability to use so many diverse content types (images, video, audio, documents, etc.), students who are more visual learners can be accommodated as well as students who need auditory support.

"Adding a social element to an activity can truly boost its learning value. These tools mix productivity and creativity, getting students to share and collaborate on projects, give and take feedback, annotate, brainstorm, make media, or just hang out. With ways to share research materials, notes on their thinking, and private notes with their teacher, kids will have opportunities to use their voices in the learning process. And with some reflection, students can also use metacognition to examine their own process. No matter the use, there's tech here that'll show students how collaboration leads to better knowledge building as well as the development of social and emotional skills like teamwork."

"Use these global perspective and cross-cultural education tools to raise the stakes of learning, creating authentic learning opportunities that build empathy and broaden students' perspectives. Through the study of other places and cultures, students can even better understand their own culture (and biases and privileges). They can explore the similarities and differences among people, and the shared global challenges -- like climate change and inequality -- that require global, cross-cultural collaboration and deep empathy. These picks will help students build these skills. Students will also grasp how big -- and small -- the world really is, and that it's full of discoveries to make and problems to solve."

"Many are using Flipgrid as a way to build in social learning, breed student connectedness, and infuse a sense of community. Often this occurs through introduction topics where students reveal personal anecdotes, showcase their unique selves, and the feel of learning is more informal. By incorporating these activities, students connect to their classmates, get to know each other better, and interactions are more personal (Agan et al., 2020; Keiper et al., 2020)" (Green, Besser, and Donovan, 2021, pg. 787).
