ThingLink - How to use it?

TCC VET How to use it?

Why using this tool – benefits

ThingLink is a tool with endless possibilities in class. No matter the project or access to technology, you can incorporate ThingLink into your class. You, as the teacher, could create one that students will use to preview/review information or complete an assignment. Students could work in groups or on their own to create one, depending on their access to technology and devices inside and outside of the classroom. You can use ThingLink as an alternative way of brainstorming, assignment designing, share information about a certain topic, icebreaker, getting to know each other by using a group photo or create an entire lesson in one ThingLink, by including links and sound clip instructions, video content and links to assignment or quiz. Instead of preparing a PowerPoint presentation, one simple picture could do the trick using ThingLink. A new, fun tool to use in class.
