ThingLink

This is a free app that allows you to make pictures interactive.  You place a pinmark on your picture and then you can make that pinmark pop with text,  videos, links etc when someone touches them.   Students have added multimedia labels to cells or geographic features.  Teachers could make their rubrics pop by putting links to examples or video tutorials.  You can see the app by clicking here.'

A Creative Commons slide show by Donna Baumbach entitled "66+ interesting ways to use ThingLink in the Classroom" can be found by clicking here.

ThingLink had their student contest and posted all the entries.  Click here to see all the entries.  You may want to look at some of these for ideas.  For example their was one on frog dissection, click here or famous composers, click here.

  1. Thanks for the mention! The collaborative document on ideas for using ThingLink in the classroom is now up to 73+! There are also some excellent resources by Lisa Johnson (http://www.pinterest.com/techchef4u/thinglink-edu-examples/) and Susan Oxnevad (http://thinglinktoolkit.wikispaces.com/) that I'd recommend!
