Last week I published a detailed tutorial on how to get started using Flipgrid in your classroom. In that tutorial I focused on using Flipgrid in the web browser on Mac, Windows, and Chrome OS computers. Students can also use Flipgrid on iPads. The Flipgrid iPad app is intended for student use not for teacher use. The app lets students respond to topics that you have posted for them. Just like in the web browser, students can use the Flipgrid iPad app to record videos and add stickers to those videos.
Watch my short video to learn how your students can use Flipgrid on their iPads.
On a related note, if you're in the market for a new iPad, Amazon has current generation iPads on sale for just $229 right now!

How to Hide Google Classroom Assignments from Your Personal Calendar
Last week I received an email from a reader who needed a little problem with her personal Google Calendar. The problem was that every assignment that she posted in Google Classroom was also showing up on her Google Calendar. This isn't a big deal if you only have one Google Classroom. However, if you teacher many sections of a course and have many Google Classrooms, your personal calendar could quickly be overrun with events and reminders.
To remove Google Classroom assignments from your personal Google Calendar you need to log into your calendar then remove the check mark from the Classroom Calendars that appear under "my calendars." Watch my short video to see how to do this.

Three Places to Find Free Video Clips for Classroom Projects - And How to Share Them
On Sunday I published a fairly extensive guide to finding media for classroom projects. That guide was entirely text-based. A few folks have asked if I can include some video tutorials in it. Therefore, yesterday I recorded the following short video in which I show three places to find free video clips that you can download and share with your students to use in classroom projects.
