Using Padlet as a Flip, FlipGrid Alternative

Flip made an announcement on June 3, that they were shutting down everyone's favorite classroom video discussion app, as well as the website. Flip functionality would soon only work inside of Microsoft EDU applications.

So here's a way to still include video discussions in your classroom, but with Padlet.

Watching in April 2025 and so glad you showed me this capability in Padlet!

Watching this in Feb 2025 as we pivot to remote learning due to winter storms on U.S. East Coast this week. Thank you for the detailed tutorial!

Thanks for taking the time to make this. I'm an English teacher in Tokyo, desperate for a Flip alternative. Have an awesome day!

THANK YOU so much!! I've used Flip for 3 years and I just realized they're going to shut it down!!! Padlet looks like a nice alternative for now. Thanks again!

Padlet doesn't give you all the extras of Flip, but it does work. I also like that you can make it where people don't have to sign in to post. Having students only comment, keeps them from making alt posts or some kids creating posts and some comments. It just keeps it clean and organize. Thanks for sharing

Great video. I've used Flip for the longest time and was very sad to see it go. This looks like it will be a very useful alternative to flip. Thanks.

Thanks Brian for a near-perfect workaround!

Do all the student video responses come out in that video activity for students? Meaning that if I ask students to respond individually to what they did this summer, will all their video responses, all 67 student videos be in one area?

Thanks for your video. Where can I find out what happened to Flip?

In Padlet, can students record their screens to give a presentation? Thank you!

I assume Microsoft is rebranding flip. So We should have an alternative soon

This is only a little useful - buy I knew how to use Padlet basics - can students create videos with images within their vid screen? I've heard videos can only be 2 minutes. Not good enough. Can Padlet handle 50 students? Many questions!
