NOTE: Flipgrid has only a loose integration with Bowdoin accounts through our single sign-on system. Flipgrid accounts are separate from Bowdoin accounts. You will need to manage your Flipgrid educator account with Flipgrid directly. There is no integration for students and class enrollments. You will have to manage students access to their material (grids).
