In this sample assignment I have created a ThingLink about
William Shakespeare. Within this assignment I have asked to students to “Create an interactive image using ThingLink about an
author of your choice. Include links, images, videos, resources,
etc. that you consider useful to the research of this author.” In
my ThingLink I have included a YouTube video bio, a link to
absoluteshakespeare.com, a link to all of Shakespeare’s works, a link to
Amazon’s Shakespeare page, a link to a lexicon dictionary, a link to his
birthplace page, a mock Shakespeare Twitter, and a link to a list of some of
the best Shakespeare movie adaptions.
This tool was very easy to use. You
simply find an image and create tags in which you copy and paste the links
into. I can really see this tool helping student instruction. It is a great way
to provide resources in a new way for the students; and it is also a unique way
for students to create an interactive project to present to the class so they
can learn off of each other. I would certainly use this tool in my classroom;
students will love this interactive method of viewing important resources and to
creating a visually appealing display. ThingLink is an excellent use of
technology in the classroom as it allows students to view the subject in an
attractive and organized fashion.
