Flipgrid:

If you are working on Flipgrid over the weekend, DO NOT record into it. Record your video on your regular camera on your phone. I will show you how to up load it to Flipgrid on Tuesday. 

If you plan to video half, then have your partner video half, make sure you know how to edit them together, as that's not something I'm knowledgeable about.
