How Can You Use ThingLink in Your Classroom?
- Create collections of work for your students to explore on their own. With a ThingLink to unify the theme of your teaching, you can provide videos, images, articles, audio...basically anything to help your students build background or personalize their learning experience.
- Ask students to explore their life with the tool. Post their own picture and link to favorite subjects, hobbies, ancestry, places they've visited, etc.
- Students can create interactive reports. Get the narrative off the paper and have students share illustrations, primary source documents, Google Docs, maps, videos, stuff that supports the research they have done on their interactive report.
- ThingLink would be a great place to develop assessments or portfolios. Have students outline and describe all their skills and knowledge after a unit by annotating a visual representation of their learning.
- There are tons of options; interactive timelines, oral histories, mapping data, interactive bulletin boards--the possibilities are nearly endless for what you and your students can create with ThingLink.
