What is the difference between
staff and PLC Teams?

Staff leaders are owners of
staff teams and add others as
members. Each staff team
allows you to communicate,
share important documents,
and set up a Staff Notebook to
track common administrative
goals.

Educators work together on
shared goals or professional
development. Each PLC team
allows you to organize
materials, collaborate, and
access a OneNote notebook
populated with templates for
common PLC tasks.

Other teams could include after school clubs, sport teams,
community groups, and more!

Potential Options for Staff and PLC
Teams
•
•

Staff – collaboration on whole school
initiatives and other whole staff related
items
PLC – grade-level team meetings; content
groups

on question and response!

How to Use
Flipgrid? Create a few account using your Microsoft
Educator email by heading to
https://info.flipgrid.com/ and clicking
“Educator Sign Up”.

Topics:
Topics are the discussion questions you are
sending to students to gather responses.
When creating a new Topic, you can add or
edit the title, prompt, recording time, closed
captioning, media you want to include, and
if you want it to be private (sent to certain
people or groups) or public (all responses
from anyone).

Check out our
Flipgrid and send a
response! Scan the
QR Code above or

the group, they have access and can
respond to any topics you have
collected in the group.

Flipgrid is integrated with Microsoft Teams! When you are
ready to share a topic with your students, click the “Share”
button. This will create a pop-out box with sharing options
