12+ hours are required for the school year.
ThingLink
How does it work?
Simple. You start with a photo, graphic, or drawing. Then, you add links... any kind of links. Whether they are links to videos, websites, or audio, it doesn't matter since ThingLink can handle it all. Below are some samples of the power and vast array of possibilities it can be used for such as science, math, or retelling a story. It can also be used as a go to source for introducing a lesson or for students to showcase their knowledge.
Take a look at the ThingLinks below.
If you are interested in learning more, email me and I will provide a training. This web app can be used by younger aged individuals, so the sign up is easy and best of all FREE!
