Microsoft acquired Flipgrid last year in June. Flipgrid is a popular video-based platform that is used by millions of students around the world. The tool encourages students of all ages to participate in discussions.

The concept is pretty interesting. Teachers post questions and topics to start a discussion among the students of a class or school.

Teachers can update the topics pages by attaching relevant documents and files for students. Students participate in those discussions by recording and uploading their short videos.
