This document discusses how the Thinglink platform can be used for educational purposes. It provides examples of how teachers can use Thinglink to: 1) have students annotate images and videos with text, links, and media to demonstrate learning; 2) create interactive lessons and student projects; and 3) organize student work and resources into channels, groups, and portfolios for assessment. Teachers are also shown how to manage student accounts and sharing options within the Thinglink platform.

Editor's Notes
- #21 http://thinglinktoolkit.wikispaces.com/ have students look for YouTube videos and or websites that will help to explain answers to the questions generated by looking at the featured image.
- #22 http://thinglinkblog.com/2014/02/07/thinglink-launches-interactive-image-channels/ http://www.slideshare.net/AuntyTech/ways-to-use-thinglink-in-the-classroom-31523079 Now teachers and students can create collections of work within the safety of their own ThingLink Teacher classroom with an exciting new feature known as Channels. ThingLink Channels provide users with the ability to organize images into embeddable interactive albums with the click of a button. Teachers and students have the flexibility to build Channels that are connected to learning goals and compliment classroom routines. Channels are a fantastic addition to ThingLink Teacher, with many opportunities for use for extending the learning.
- #23 http://thinglinkblog.com/2014/08/12/collect-curate-and-share-interactive-images/ You are encouraged to take the time to explore the images created by others, curate them and reuse them with your own students. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel with all of these examples at hand. That’s the beauty of this PLN. Here are some ideas for creating your own collection of useful images. (see doc inside BOOKMARKING)
- #24 http://edtechteacher.org/rethinking-thinglink-from-shawn-mccusker/ Use ThingLink to organize class projects with multiple online components. Thinlink not only supports the student doing the organization, but also helps their classmates who can now see the creation PROCESS as well as the final product. Teachers can create customized images for the students to use as backgrounds that support the desired process and could even serve as a project check-list.
- #25 http://edtechteacher.org/?p=5892&preview=true To embed video/reading at different levels (books icon in different colours, for ex, showing simple, interm, adv) There are icons that represent start/stop for videos
- #26 http://padlet.com/soxnevad/MyDigitalSelf http://padlet.com/soxnevad/UltimateWordWal Thinglink can make sharing a class’ work with the rest of the school and community easier. The physical class bulletin board or hallway project display has long served as a way to share the work of an entire class with the rest of the school, parents or the community. ThingLink can make student work easily available to others, allowing the learning to be extended and valued throughout the entire community. The simplicity can make sharing with classes outside of your school, with classes across the country, or even with classes from around world all possible with a single link. Parents can access the work, creating real transparency and openness to the school community. Classwork tells the story of our classrooms, and as Patrick Larkin (@patrickmlarkin) says, “If you don’t tell your story, someone else will tell it for you.”

- #33 ThingLink Video could be a great tool for students to use to add additional information to Animoto videos or other audio slideshow videos that they publish on YouTube. Animoto and similar tools are nice for creating short presentations but they don't offer much in the way of opportunity for sharing additional information about each image in a video. Putting their audio slideshow videos into ThingLink Video is one way that students could enhance their video projects.
- #35 Most quizzes are boring, but what about creating one based on images? Then post in on FB or Twitter or send it by email. This one is about VIOLENCE
- #43 http://d97cooltools.blogspot.com.ar/2014/09/thinglink-google-docs-integration-is.html#.VBSzZb14p4c ThingLink now supports a rich-media tag to embed a Google Doc right on an interactive graphic. Now it’s easier than ever to transform teaching and learning with just two tools, ThingLink EDU and Google Docs!
- #45 http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2014/01/now-you-can-add-audioboo-recordings-to.html#.VAmzQTJdXTr One of the ways that you could use the pairing of Audioboo and Thinglink is to have students create short audio recordings about the people in and circumstances of a famous picture, for example, or record a description of their own city, or room, showing a photo.
