ThingLink For Teachers
How Thinglink can be used in the classroom
- Can be used as a HOOK to get students to interact with certain subject areas- for example you could use a picture of a tiger and add tags on the tiger with a 360 video or a Wonderopolis article on tigers, etc.
- Can be used as a FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT- for example you can give your students a picture or blank chart and have them add tags about what they learned about that certain topic.
- Really great to teach maps and add tags of monuments or big places to visit in United States or around the world. Would be a great project for the students to present to the class!
