Cool Tool to Share With Your Students

It's so exciting to be a part of the T21 cohort.  We are learning so many new technology tools to use in our classrooms and are excited to share these with you.

I'm sharing a tool called Thinglink.  It enables you or your students to use an image and label it with informational tags that may contain text, a link to a web site or link an image.  When I first tried it, I had trouble using images that were too small.  When you create or find an image, make sure it is saved in a jpeg format.  In this video, I used a Social Studies lesson but also wanted to do one for Science using the structure of a cell.  I believe if you watch this video you'll come up with a lot of ideas for you to use in your classroom.  Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below this blog.
