    ThingLink is a web tool that allows groups to comment on with text, audio, video, and to share and/or embed them. This resource has multiple applications in the FL classroom, including visual literacy, information literacy, enhancing communication and collaborative skills. One example activity: upload a map and have students describe various locations on map orally, in video, or text, and then have them comment on/expand upon each others' posts.

    A plethora of resources for using portfolios, strength-based and asset-based evaluation and assessment for language learning.

    Heide: Thanks for sharing this concise and informative resource. I've found most educators, myself included, struggle with knowing how to appropriately use copyrighted resources as well as those with Creative Commons licensing. This tool is a nice addition to any educator's digital literacy reference library!
