Thinglink
Thinglink is a website set up that allows for teachers to annotate images with text and media. It can turn images to have as much information that is desired by having links on the images that can range from information text, links to videos and links to websites.
This could be used in the classroom to show students that one image can carry much information. For instance the instructor can have a picture of a historical place. The students can click on different links on the image to show information what is significant about the place, the geography and history of why this place is important. The outcomes of using this website in the classroom would be to enrich students learning by understanding how there can be multiple subjects taught with one image.
Thinglink can be used to advance students achievements of learning targets by organizing findings on the internet in one picture. Either the instructor can create a page for the students to explore and have access to anytime or the students can create something they can access for as long as they desire. Thinglink can be used anywhere, creating information that can be tangible to the parents, students or community.
Two examples to use this technology to increase students learning:
1. A teacher could have a picture of an immigrant that moved to Colorado. The students would find out about the immigrant and what the push/pull factors were to move. Geography could be included by adding information of where the person originated from. This technology would increase the students learning because they would be able to interact with a photograph of a real person that has a story.
2. An art piece could be shown with interaction throughout the piece. At the beginning of class the teacher could show the art piece and explain that this is the main focus of the day. Each interaction could deal with a different subject. For example in math the teacher could point out angles, bisectors, parallel and perpendicular lines. For social studies the instructor could explain the history of the piece and why it was created. The interlinks could aid in helping explain the different contents.
