Traditional lectures can have students glued to their seats, absorbing information passively. But what if we flip the screen? With Flip, the innovative video editor, teachers can create dynamic lessons that stimulate curiosity to see, increase student engagement, and enable students to be active learners. What is a Flip? Flip is a user-friendly tool that allows anyone to record short, interesting videos. Its intuitive interface makes it perfect for tech-savvy teachers and those just starting out. Students can use Flip to create and share their learning journeys.
Benefits of Flipping with Flip:
- Deeper understanding: Pre-recorded lessons allow students to study, rewind, and revisit key concepts at their own pace. Study time is devoted to in-depth analysis, discussion and activities.
- Individualized learning: Flip facilitates differentiated instruction. Teachers can create short, targeted lessons for individual students or small groups based on their needs.
- Enhance Student Voice: Flip empowers students to express themselves creatively through prompts, comments, and video commentary on collaborative projects.
- Improved communication: Flip bridges the gap between home and school. Parents and guardians can gain valuable insight into their child’s learning through Flipped lessons and student-created videos.
Ready to Flip? Here’s how to get started:

- Record your Flip: Use Flip’s easy recording tools to create clear, concise, and engaging video lessons. Include images, comments, and even questions to enhance your content.
- Share with students: Donate your Flip to a learning platform of your choice. Provide clear instructions and answer any questions they may have.
