Abstract	While the video discussion tool Flipgrid has increasingly become popular among educators, limited research has been conducted with Flipgrid as the subject. The research on Flipgrid has focused, to date, primarily on single-case uses. These studies have been beneficial in examining how Flipgrid is being used in isolated contexts. The goal in conducting this study was to add to the research base by exploring on a macro level how educators are using Flipgrid and how they perceive the use of Flipgrid enhancing student learning. To meet this goal, we conducted an online survey to gather data on educators' (n = 230) uses of Flipgrid and their perceptions about Fligrid use on student learning. The data show that primary uses of Flipgrid are promoting creativity and formative evaluation of student learning. Data analysis suggested that teachers perceived Flipgrid to be a valuable teaching tool and a valuable student learning tool. We discuss these findings and implications for Flipgrid users and those who provide support for and training on Flipgrid. (As Provided).
