Thinglink is a website that has an app. I created a class on the website and each student logged in using their own username and password. Thinglink is neat because it brings photographs to life. We used it for our orange splot projects. After reading the book The Orange Splot, the students had a chance to design their own dream homes. Then, they took a picture of their homes in the app. The app then allows the students to either type or take videos where they can describe different features of their house. They have little spots all of their pictures now where they added text or videos giving more information about that part of their house. We had a great time working on this exciting extension of the project and I look forward to finding other ways to use the thinglink app.
