ThingLink

What is ThingLink?

ThingLink is a free and a digital tool that allows your

students the ability to turn any image into an

interactive graphic. Create pinpoints on different parts

of an image and turn that pinpoint into a multimedia

launcher. Include video, pictures and text to make the

picture interactive. ThingLink is a great interactive tool

for your students to showcase what they have learned.

Teacher use:

Give notes and imbed pictures or videos like a webquest.

Students can work at their own pace while you monitor their progress.

Student Use

While a little more tricky for sign in, I tell my students to use this as an interactive poster board.

Student Example

Students were asked to research 10 things about a country that they choose. The following is over Japan:

Upload

Go to google and find an image that you would like to experiment on and save it to your desktop!

PinPoints

You can click anywhere on the picture that you want your pinpoints. If you want them on a certain animal part, or certain area of a country, you can make it more specific, or you can make it random!
