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.

Wow! Super cool tool, Debbie, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Debbie! Love the blog idea for sharing the information.
ReplyDeleteGreat focus on the instructional aspect - Thinglink can be used in all content areas!
ReplyDeleteDeb,
ReplyDeleteCan you create something and then embed it in a shared document? Is it interactive so I could use it as an assessment tool? I'm thinking maybe to check student's awareness of settings in a novel like A Tale of Two Cities, identifying Paris and London...or pics of characters and have them name them...
Yes, Linda. When you create an image, you can share it with a link in any type of document, slide show or web site you have.
