Two Minute Tech Tips with Maureen Young
I will never forget the day the educators at my school learned about Flipgrid. It was the first time I saw an entire room of educators ALL genuinely excited about the potential of an edtech tool.
Matt Miller 🗑️@jmattmiller

If you haven't heard, Microsoft Flip as we know it is being retired. So many emotions. Sad. Grateful. Disappointed. Thankful. I've seen EdTech tools and companies come and go for the last 12+ years. Flipgrid was different. (Yes, in the end it was called Microsoft Flip, but to many of us, it'll always be Flipgrid.) The product was unique ... But the community was INCREDIBLE. Educators rallied around Flipgrid not for the product but for the mission: empower student voice. Or, as Flipgrid cofounder @design2research said, bringing the back row of the class to the front row. I made lifelong friends because of Flipgrid. The tool was incredible. (I could say "is" because "still in Microsoft Teams" and all, but that'll disqualify lots of us ... and today's Microsoft Flip is NOT the best version of itself.) Flipgrid did elegantly what other tools tried to do -- and just didn't do as well. (And I'm on team @HollyClarkEdu -- don't come at me with "x tool can record video." Nothing else does what it did in the way it did.) I'm grateful and thankful for the people that made Flipgrid special ... ... but mostly I'm just disappointed. If you stay around for a while, you see this happen. A product that was someone's passion / pride and joy ... gets acquired by a company that doesn't care as much. And something special gets lost from the world. Students and teachers lose in this decision. All in the attempt to make Microsoft profitable and efficient. My heartfelt thanks to those that made Flipgrid special, including @Taralson, @Savvy_Educator, @jessxbo, @GridPalGeorge, @FelyTeachnology, @annkozma723, @MrCoachK15 and so many more. I'll try to find new tools. (Please don't recommend any here. Not ready for that yet.) But for right now, I just need to settle my emotions and say ... To my #FlipgridFam ... Thank you 💚

I find these subtle moves make a big difference in student motivation. So often Ss can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. They don't know where they're going & certainly don't know their location in relation to the end goal.

@dustinmcampbell @edu_survival I'm hoping what you mean by this comment is that it's important that coaches find out what teachers truly need for support (resources that save them time, help them connect with their students, and make their lives easier), not simply pushing their own agenda. At least I hope.

I am sitting with Ks right now, one student is new and speaks no English. Has anyone used SchoolAI to help that student be more successful in class - to have an assistant? I am going to figure out a way today because it will be a game changer.
