Image Hotspot Generator

From our friends at Classtools.net.  If you would like to annotate a picture so that you can click on a discription this is the place to go.  You might want to annotate a diagram for science class or a picture for history class with names etc.  If you click on the red dots on the  picture of my kids taken on their Santa visit in 2012 you will see a picture that I annotated.  To see the website click here.  An alternative to this is Thinglink and Pic-Collage.  I posted about this in 2016 and you can see this by clicking here.

ThingLink and Pic-Collage

This will be my last post of the 2015-2016 school year.  Good luck on your exams and have a great summer.  I will be posting again in September.

A couple of years ago I posted about ThingLink.  It is a free app that allows you to use your  device to make interactive pictures by placing pins on the photo.  When you mouse of the pin it will pop open to show another picture or video or a map or whatever else you can embed.  I have posted below example from math from Mary Kate Brennan's webpage.  The frog dissection was from a student contest on ThingLinks web page.  Also a collage with links to youtube like the one below could be done for science or art very easily using Pic-Collage and ThingLink.  Donna Baumbach made a Creative Commons slide show entitled "88+ Interesting Ways to Use ThingLink in the Classroom.  To see the slide show click here.
