The Asynchronous Video Revolution Has Begun

#Vedchat is a weekly slow chat powered by Flipgrid and a new way to experience personalized professional learning. It is a video extension of Twitter’s text-based #edchat; it is a weekly video Q&A among teachers.  #Vedchat has a different feel because video cultivates your PLN in a deeply personal way that text simply can't. 

But the asynchronous video PD revolution will be an uphill battle. Video is a big commitment: you have to look presentable, and in the time it takes to record a single recording you could have read and written many Tweets. An even bigger challenge is a vast majority of teachers are camera shy and simply refuse to appear on live video, like Skype. But Flipgrid is a game changer because with asynchronous video you have infinite redo’s, and you can keep recording until you look great!


It gets better. Asynchronous video is a stepping stone to synchronous video (like Skype), which in turn is a stepping stone to video production and citizen journalism.

​Yes, in helping individuals find their voice, Flipgrid is promoting democracy.
