ThingLink

ThingLink is so cool! You get to upload an image and then put little buttons on it and when you scroll over the button, a bubble pops up with text, a picture, or a video. The one I created was pretty basic. I did a long division practice sheet and had the tags as the answer, so students could practice their long division and check their work. I also provided two tags at the top of the page: a video to re-teach long division, and a picture with the acronym DMSCB (divide, multiply, subtract, check, bring down) to help struggling students. There are just so many possibilities for ThingLink! You can create one when learning about new science or social studies topics, and students who may be struggling to understand can look at them from home to get some extra help. This tool is such a simple little idea, but the possibilities for its use are endless and I just think it's so cool!
