ThingLink Review
This week I decided to do a video tool. I chose ThingLink for this tool. At this website you are able to have a background picture with dots on certain parts of the picture that has links, pictures, or videos about the topic of your choosing. I really enjoyed using this website, and I think that the idea of the product you are able to make is really cool as well. I did my sample on knitting since that is my major project topic.
This tool would be very helpful to use in the classroom as part of a presentation. I think the students would like the look of the presentation if it was done this way. One of the examples that I saw was a map of a city and then there were dots with pictures that were linked to that certain area of the city. So this tool could definitely be used by a social studies teacher.
If I did have my students use this tool I think I would have to do it as a class project. I would have to project it on the screen so the whole class would be able to help me design the photo. I think that it might be too difficult for my young students to do it on their own, but I do think it would be very beneficial if we could do it as a class.
