I've written about ThingLink before. ThingLink is a great tool that allows you to take any photo and then tag the photo with links to videos, images, webpages, or text. This is a great tool for students to curate content about a topic, or for a teacher to present content. You can use it on any device with internet access and they have an iOS app. (An Android App is in the works.)
Here is sample made by one of my AVID students. It was part of a college research project:
Right now, ThingLink is having a special for teachers. They are really working on supporting teachers, and have a lot in the works for 2014. Right now, they are offering all teachers at schools and universities free access to ThingLink Premium for 2014 (worth $250). To get this great deal all you have to do is sign up for a ThingLink Teacher Account using this link by the end of December. Or, if you already have an account, respond to their offer email.
ThingLink Premium allows you to
- use custom icons
- set up groups for classrooms
- view image slide shows (coming soon)
- view image analytics
- and more
Don't miss out! Sign up for a ThingLink Educator Account today!
