Using Canva to make a **thinglink

See an example below (not linked) 👇

What is **thinglink?

Thinglink is an interactive image tool that provides users with the ability to turn any image into a multimedia launcher. Users can create "hot spots" on parts of an image that link to videos, websites, Google docs or slides, and provides the teacher with the ability to record orignial video or audio to share with students.

Sounds cool, what is the catch??

**Thinglink is a fully paid resource....and we don't pay for it. There is no workable free version for educators. BOOOOO!!!

Well, now I want to try it, but I'm FOR SURE not paying...THANKS A PANTLOAD CHARITY.😒

WHAT!?!?

I WOULDN'T LEAVE YOU HANGING LIKE THAT! Keep scrolling, friends!

Never you fear...

How to get started

Simply navigate to your Canva account through Classlink.

Then start a new project. You can do a presentation, whiteboard, document, or really any other still file type you like.

Select and upload your image.

Add icons over the image and link them to other resources you want your students to interact with.

When you're done, click share and get the public view link to put into your Canvas course!
