ThingLink is an interactive media platform that offers a range of features for users to create, share, and explore interactive images, videos, and 360-degree virtual tours. With an intuitive interface, ThingLink allows users to enhance static media by adding interactive tags containing text, images, links, videos, audio, and embedded multimedia content. These tags can be placed at specific points on the media to provide additional information, context, or related resources. BUT before we get ahead of ourselves many of these features are paywalled and the free features are usable on a 30 day free trial which when it runs out it will be over for your experience.
That being said while you can use still use it, Thinklink can help foster student engagement, critical thinking, and collaboration by allowing you to make interactive prestation's that keep engagements higher, allowing you to have the visual medium better fit in to your class thus allowing students to understand whatever content is in their way, thus allowing differentiated learning to take place meaning less students will be left behind because their learning style has no representation in class.
But after all is said and done you can only do so much with the free trial version. Here is a simple activity i made based on the Ministry of Educations curriculum on English learning. Its based on second class students 5. unit. Colors!
Activity: The teacher will show the material prepared, and tells the students what they will be doing. The teacher will explain the different colors on the image, pointing the mouse and their finger at a certain color and pronounce it out loud. The teacher will also make the students repeat the name of the color out loud as well. After this the students will try to identify the colors in the image by themselves.
Learning Goal:
The students should able to figure out which color is which even in a colorful image and pronunce the name of the colors
