ThingLink allows users to create interactive and creative web templates by uploading images, videos, audio, and other links and then tagging them. Users can sign up for a free personal account or pay for a teacher/student upgrade, and they can upload content from sources like Flickr, Facebook, or their hard drive. ThingLink benefits education by engaging students through differentiated learning, making visuals interactive, and being easy to use and share across classrooms for ideas like teacher introductions, projects, portfolios, quizzes, and parent communication.
