Thinglink final presentation1
- 2. Welcome This is a joint presentation by Vicente Velazquez and Jeanne Semilia. We have worked together in several classes and feel our different roles and involvement in education at different levels has brought a good mix of perspectives into our projects. Vicente Jeanne
- 3. What were we thinking? • For another class, we developed a web-based learning system: College Ready (http://college-ready.wix.com/zippo). • In doing research for our WBLS, we found many students are underprepared as they leave high school and try to enter higher learning.
- 4. Whys (on the student side of things): •No motivation •Family issues (financial, emotional, etc.) •Time •Learning style is unknown
- 5. Whys (on the teacher side of things) •Does not engage with student to identify and address concerns •Does not use technology to keep the interest of 21st century learners •Is not available if student needs help •Does not present content in ways to accommodate all learning styles
- 6. Why ThingLink? •Our WBLS is a site about self-awareness and it contains many resources for students to find out more about themselves. •ThingLink is something we wanted to learn more about and possibly add to our site as another tool to help students discover their learning style.
- 7. What is ThingLink ThingLink is a platform for creating interactive images and videos for different channels: •Web •Social •Advertising •Educational
- 8. ThingLink for all learning styles Many educators agree that over 60% of learners are visual. We feel ThingLink has the capability to keep the interest of this large group by providing plenty for them to look at, while addressing the needs of other types of learners. •Music and videos with sound can be included for audio learners. •Reading/writing preference learners will enjoy adding and reading text for the hotspots or nubbins. •Tactile learners can be included by allowing them to click on the hotspots.

Editor's Notes
- A sample lesson will be presented a little later.
- “If you communicate through an image, people engage with it—we know that because of Facebook,” said Neil Vineberg, CMO of the two-year-old startup ThingLink. “And if you put content inside an image, the engagements go crazy.”
- You should get an email confirmation.
- One of the most common and widely used categorizations of the various types of learning styles is the VARK model:V - visual learners A - auditory learnersR - reading-writing preference learnersK - kinesthetic learners or tactile learners
