Did you get a text from a friend asking you to download the FLIP app? Or many of such texts?

Maybe you downloaded it. Maybe you thought it was spam (like I did until my sister sent me pictures of her order.)

In short - it’s a social media shopping app. And after hearing about it all week, I finally ordered my first three items tonight.

As I pressed ‘add to cart’ I was thinking about how cool it is that flip merged online shopping and social media into one app. Very 21st century like.

Last week, I gave a workshop on the importance of critical thinking and how it’s a skill that will never expire. As part of the workshop, I had a game called “Four Pics, One Word” where there were four pictures on a card. The pictures showed the progression of different things, from ancient days until today. The teachers were challenged to guess the common “category” for each of the cards.

Here are two (one is easier and one is harder. Hit reply if you can’t get it and you’re curious!)

After downloading (and finally understanding) the flip app, I can now add a “shopping” game card. With a picture of a market, an indoor mall, amazon boxes at a door, and now - FLIP.

So much has changed - transportation, healthcare, jobs, entertainment, and now - shopping.

And in this ever-changing world, how can you be an ever-growing educator?
