@NicoleNaditz @MmeCarbonneau @CVMWorldLangs With chateopp students can respond to others with voice, video or text, we have no interest in student data and are happy to sign any district agreement. Chateo is made by a WL teacher for the WL classroom, it’s free too! :) we also offer a global citizenship school-wide program

[Madame Carbonneau @MmeCarbonneau]

#langchat Wow. Next year no more Jamboard. Bye Flipgrid. And today my district announced Quizlet will not be usable come fall because they won't sign the privacy agreement. On the hunt.......... Looking @Chateoapp, but what else could be a replacement for these staples?

[Chateo @Chateoapp]

Thank you to FLIP and all the progress you have helped our teachers and students achieve in the WL classroom. Chateo is ready to fill FLIP's shoes! Join our free community! Let's keep the conversation going!

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 💚
