FlipGrid

 Flipgrid is a simple, free, and accessible video discussion experience for students and teachers. You can start a discussion and engage your educational community together. The idea behind this education tool is to use video to create an open platform of discussion and learning that doesn´t require a physical classroom to get everyone involved. That makes Flipgrid an ideal remote learning tool as well as a powerful homework-based application for students to use with each other.

Flipgrid is designed to allow students to speak to the group, but without the same fear that might constrict responses in a real-world situation. Students can re-record responses, removing the pressure of answering in class, on the spot. Also, it a great tool for use when learning remotely.

Basically, teachers post "topics" and can be accompanied by text. This is then shared by students who can be prompted to respond. The response can be made using the software's camera to create videos that are then posted to the original topic. These videos can be recorded as many times as needed before uploading and can have the addition of emoji, text, stickers, drawings, or custom stickers.

The service works online so it can be accessed via web browser from nearly any device, or through the app, making it good for laptops, tablets, smartphones, Chromebooks, and desktop computers. The only requirement on any of those devices is a camera and has enough processing power to back that up.
