Tech Ideas to Revamp Your Students’ Writing (Part II)

June 5, 2015 By Kelly Leave a Comment

Thinglink in the Bilingual ClassroomToday I am sharing another great tech tool you can use with your students: Thinglink. It can immediately complement your teaching of both writing and reading. Thinglink is a site that allows you and your students to “Discover, create and share interactive images and videos.” Teachers can get started by clicking here. The basic version is free and available for ios and Android.
So, what is Thinglink?
It allows you and your students to turn plain images into interactive ‘images’ by embedding videos, texts, music and more. In other words, it allows users to turn an image or collection of images into amazing ‘educational’ collages. You can access some examples here.

How does it work?

After you create an account, you are able to start inviting students and generate user names and passwords for each one of them (with a free account, you can generate up to 100 accounts). From there, you/your students can start creating interactive ‘walls’ right away. All you/they have to do is upload an image (from your computer or you can access public images), add links, and your product will be ready to be shared.

 

It is easy and SUPER fun. Students can turn presentations into interactive learning tools. How else do you integrate technology into your writing/reading block?
