If your students don't have Microsoft or Google accounts, Flipgrid makes it easy to secure your Grid using Student IDs! The IDs can be as simple as student names, initials, lunch pins, or any easy-to-remember combination you want. There is a maximum of 250 student IDs per Grid.
Add, Edit, or print Student IDs
- Access your Educator account at admin.flipgrid.com to visit the My Grids page.
- Use the Actions menu and select Edit Grid (not to be confused with editing a topic).
- Scroll down to Grid Type and select Student ID.
- Add or edit your student list. Student ID requires 2+ characters (letters, numbers, symbols). Student IDs are case and space sensitive so be sure to enter the ID exactly how you want your student should use it. You can also import a CSV of your student IDs as well. Simply create a unique column for their first name, last name, and student ID in that order.
- Each Student ID will also create a QR badge students can scan for access. No need to remember the Flip Code or student ID!
Share with Students
Share the Flip Code with your students and have them enter the Student ID to access your Grid by going to Flipgrid.com or on the free Flipgrid app.
