Flipgrid allows students to upload video feedback. Create a "grid" for your classes. Inside each "grid" you can post multiple topics. Inside each topic, students can add their videos. Post a topic online for students to see each other's responses. Any short, formative response that you ask students to do can be turned into a Flipgrid.
