The Task
This task is more open-ended. You will want to introduce
yourself to the group in a short (< 2 min) video. You can talk about
whatever you want – your background, your hobbies, your family, your pets,
where you live, what you teach, who you are – the list is endless. If you are someone
who prefers structure, considering the following template:
- Your name,
- Where and what you teach,
- Something you do on the
week-ends.
The Post
Once you are ready to make your post, follow these
instructions. The instructions are also provided in a short video below.

the Flip website: https://info.flip.com/en-us.html

two-step process.
