A great post about ThingLink, Microsoft and Vocabulary

The ThingLink Interactive Image Contest invites students to connect audio, video, images, and text in one cohesive presentation. Students will dig deeper into content through research to present knowledge and ideas as they learn, practice and demonstrate digital literacy skills in image creation, selection, content curation, creativity, tagging and sharing.

View this MentorMob playlist to find samples of ways to use Thinglink, a tool for creating interactive multimedia supported graphics.

Allows you to add hotspots on any photo or image.  You can have the hotspots give more information about something in the image, show a video or another image.  These images can then be embedded into your class website or blog and they will retain their interactivity. Think about using this as a cool presentation.  Add hotspots to a map to discuss history or a lit trip.  Add it to images of art with zoomed in hotspots highlighting the paint and items in the pictures.   It's great.

Last week I learned that the folks at ThingLink and MentorMob had done some work together to integrate their tools, making it possible to embed a MentorMob playlist directly into a graphic. After experimenting a bit I decided to remix some of the content I've been using for years to teach digital citizenship and the result is the creation of Avatar Adventure.

Looks really good. The first images I looked for seam really good ways of entering a subject in an interactive way!

Add multiple tags, comments, messages, links and more to photos and then share with everyone. Great for giving homework instructions or providing resources for a project. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/Photos+%26+Images

I have been creating a lot of student projects that use ThingLink as a tool for learning. I have also received a handful of of questions from teachers who are highly interested in facilitating a similiar project of their own, but need help with the management involved. "With so much active student engagement, how do you manage a project like this?"

A toolkit  designed to provide innovative ideas and support for using interactive graphics for teaching and learning.

I used ThingLink to organize and put together some useful resources for Google Docs for learning. Scroll your mouse over this interactive image to explore the resources.
