ThingLink is a website tool I came across during my Game Elements 4 Learning class that I took during the summer of 2013. It was an excellent class because I could set my own learning goals and move at my own pace over the course of a month. I did not delve too deeply into the course but I did read much of the handouts provided and picked up a few ideas and tools for my students and for faculty.
This website is a great resource for a flipped classroom. You will notice that as you point to each video related resource logo in my creation, you can click on the URL to the resource and it will take you to the website where you can learn about the tool. I plan to add a short audio blurb about each resource so faculty will know which tool might fit their needs. Then the Office of Innovations can use this Thinglink to inform our faculty about some of the resources supported by Innovations in Teaching & Learning.
So take any picture, any picture at all, and you can make it interactive just by adding what they call "tags"-try it OR have your students try it as an assignment. You can browse for many more examples to get some ideas. Also here are some that could be used by elementary students, these were created by my classmate-she is very clever, huh?
