Flipgrid assignments can be found on your Assignments page with all other types of assignments. The teacher assigns a start and due date, as well as a points value for each assignment. Opening a Flipgrid assignment opens Flipgrid right within Passport, eliminating the need for a grid code or QR code. Students already have a Flipgrid account that is tied to their Passport account.
