How to access Flippity resources<\/h3>\n
Get the full range of templates from the Flippity website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to use Flippity templates<\/h3>\n
Step 1:<\/h4>\n
First of all, I’d recommend checking out the demo and instructions on the Flippity website. This will give you an idea of what you can do with the template and step-by-step instructions.<\/p>\n
When you click Template >\u00a0Make a copy, <\/strong>a copy of the template is saved to your Google Drive and it opens in your browser.<\/p>\n
Rename the file as required.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/flippity-3.png” alt=”flippity 3″ title_text=”flippity 3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/h4>\n
Customize the template with your own questions, words, categories, and activities.<\/p>\n
Do\u00a0not edit the blue cells or delete any rows or columns. <\/strong>These are part of the template and if you alter them, the spreadsheet might not work correctly.<\/p>\n
Here I will customize Flippity’s flashcard template for my French class.<\/p>\n
I change the Audio on Side2<\/strong> of the flashcards to French using the dropdown menu and add an image from Wikipedia for one of the cards.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/flippity-customize-flashcards-1.png” alt=”flippity-customize-template” title_text=”flippity-customize-flashcards” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
How to add images to your Flippity template<\/h4>\n
You can add photos and videos to any of the templates, as long as they’re available online. Just paste the URL of a picture directly into the cell. Note that this will not work with pictures stored in your Google Drive. Choose smaller-sized images for optimum speed.<\/p>\n
To embed YouTube videos into the template, copy the “Share this video” link from YouTube and paste it straight into the target cell.<\/p>\n
To add a picture from Wikipedia, click on the image then Share or embed this file. <\/strong>It’s the icon on the bottom right-hand side of the screen. Under embed, copy the link that begins with “https:\/\/upload”.<\/p>\n
Here’s the URL to the image of a lemon I used on my flashcards:<\/p>\n
https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/c\/c7\/Lemon-Whole-Split.jpg\/1200px-Lemon-Whole-Split.jpg” alt=”Lemon-Whole-Split.jpg<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/flippity-wikipedia-image-1.png” alt=”flippity-wikipedia-image” title_text=”flippity-wikipedia-image” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/span><\/h3>\n
Now publish your Flippity spreadsheet online, so that your students can access it. Do this by clicking on File<\/strong> > Publish to the web > Publish.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
A URL appears in a box. This is the link you can copy and share with your students via Google Classroom, chat, or email.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/flippity-publish-to-web.png” alt=”flippity-publish-to-web” title_text=”flippity-publish-to-web” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
\u00a0Step 4:<\/h3>\n
Open the URL to view the published version of your Flippity spreadsheet.<\/p>\n
When I paste the URL for the flashcards I created into my browser, the online file appears. If I click on the Get the Link Here<\/strong> tab, it provides a link to my flashcards.<\/p>\n
Click the arrows to scroll through the flashcards:<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/flippity-view-flashcards-1.png” alt=”flippity-view-flashcards” title_text=”flippity-view-flashcards” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

How To Use The Flippity Add-on For Google Sheets<\/span><\/h4>\nFlippity<\/a> is one of those add-ons that teachers can use to create interactive, online education tools with spreadsheets. Teachers can enhance the educational experience of their students by creating a variety of cool activities in a short amount of time. Originally, Flippity was created to transform spreadsheets into simple, but effective online flashcards, but it has developed into a much more valuable tool! Now you can create things like crossword puzzles, typing tests, educational games, and progress charts. There are so many interesting ways to enhance the classroom when you have blended learning tools like this at your disposal!<\/span>\n\nBlended learning is the combination of traditional teaching and online methods. In an ever-modernizing world, students need to learn the way that they will one day work. This means they need to be highly computer literate. Children need to be exposed to various types of blended media from a young age to become digitally proficient. In addition, they will need to learn to interact and collaborate with others online. This is simply an educational necessity for students of all ages.<\/span>\n
<\/h5>\n
Using Blended Learning<\/h5>\nUnfortunately, many teachers did not grow up in the digital age. Regardless of their own digital proficiency, these teachers are still responsible for providing both traditional and digital classroom environments. Although many teachers are excited about providing blended learning opportunities for their students, they simply don\u2019t always know exactly where to get started. <\/span>\n\nFortunately, there are people, like the folks over at Flippity, who make teachers lives easier by providing their transformative creations for free! There is no reason that teachers should not be using this easy to use add-on to enhance their learning environment. If you expose students to blended learning methods, they will be more engaged and show more interest in their education. Get started using Flippity to easily create interesting tools from within Google Sheets spreadsheets!<\/span>\n

<\/h5>\n
Customize the Template<\/h5>\nNow that you have saved your URL and published the sheet to the web, you can customize the template with your own content. Today I am making flashcards for a beginners Spanish class. You can see that I have changed the audio in column B to Spanish, and added some words in English and Spanish in columns A and B, respectively. One thing that is really interesting about this tool is that you can add images or videos to enhance the flashcards. Just keep in mind that they will need to be web-hosted <\/span>like this<\/span><\/a>, and cannot be from your Drive.<\/span>\n\n
