An excellent way to use ThingLink in class/in a flipped class. This particular example is a picture of a whiteboard. Read all about it at ThingLink.

This is an excellent description of what Thinglink is and how to use it: Tag an image with a little dot that links to a definition, further instructions, and active URL, etc. Very helpful for your webpage or instructional wiki.

Intriguing interactive image with links to specific articles and ways to create/use materials to meet Common Core Standards for ELA/Literacy.

"Blogging apps make it possible for students to record their observations and those of others from almost anywhere (click here for the mobile apps for the most popular blog platforms). Here are three mobile blogging activities that you might have students try on your next field trip." R. Byrne suggests 3 lessons using Animoto for mobile, podcasting with Audioboo or Sound Cloud, and picture enhancement with ThingLink or PicCollage. More ideas in the links below the entry.

The tools are Snapguide, to create video with captions, Meograph, a timeline creator, and Thinglink which creates interactive images. These tools allow for creativity and self-expression, but also encourage students to go deeper into a subject or theme.

I usually don't like lists, but this one also has suggestions for using the apps with students. Info on the Wallwisher update, Padlet; infographics made easy; Thinglink for graphics; Aurasma for creating QR codes with objects, rthaer than a square, and so on.

"As you design blogging assignments for students consider that text may not always be the best medium to have students use to express ideas and share information. For the student who is trying to quickly convey an idea or share research that he or she compiled, posting an infographic or a video presentation might be a better method of sharing than writing a long passage of text and hoping that readers make it all way through to the end." R. Byrne discusses a short list of tools, including Infogram, Thinglink, YouTube, and SoundCloud, that help students make ideas visual and aural/oral.

Links to famous works by classical composers. A great site to explore, or use for background music to projects. I started listening critically to classical music at age 14 because of an enlightened high school principal who played classical music during study hours and commented on it, too, and it's always been a joy.

R. Byrne: "A featured resource on MoMA Learning is this video containing five tips for teaching with works of art. The video not only lists the tips, it contains examples of using these tips to teach art history and art appreciation lessons to students." Most of the great art museums and natural history museums of the world have websites with instructional materials of very high quality. It's worth some time to explore what they offer and figure out how to adapt their resources for your classes. One of the other excellent resources on MoMA Learning is this glossary of art terms. In many cases the definitions in the glossary contain links to multiple examples of each term.

R. Byrne talks about several popular tools that might be of interest, including Padlet, Storyboard That, Thinglink, and ClassDojo. Each of these is worth exploring if you haven't seen them before.

"Create beautiful page-flipping e-books in minutes. Add text and images. Embed video, audio, ThingLink and more. Share your books with friends and the world."

"Thinglink's interactive image generator is perfect for enhancing illustrations and diagrams, making interactive infographics and posters, and creating scenes for digital breakout activities. Creating interactive images has never been easier. Just upload an image, and with a few clicks, you can add text, image overlays, video, links, or even vocal narration. Even sharing these interactive images is a snap: just copy and paste a link, or embed your interactive image practically anywhere." You never learn anything. etter than when teaching it to others. Interactive images is a great way to develop vocabulary and content mastery.
