Today's lesson deals with a wonderful online tool called Thinglink. What is ThingLink? ThingLink helps you create and discover rich images. Be creative! Make your images come alive with music, video, text, images, shops and more! Every image contains a story and ThingLink helps you tell your stories. Follow image channels from your favorite bands, bloggers and friends. Your ThingLink Interactive images form a channel that other users can follow. Share your channel with friends on Facebook and Twitter and follow your friends. Touch and discover.

ASSIGNMENT FOUR:
Sign up for a Thinglink first of all. Then decide upon the image that you would like to tag that could be used in one of your classes. I'd like for you to have five tags. Try to use sites, text and videos if possible. Once completed send me the URL for your Thinglink. Remember, each Thinglink has its own URL or web address. I've included what I feel is enough instruction in the form of videos for you to complete this assignment. If, however, you have problems or questions, contact me. Good luck and have fun.
NOTE:
This online tool might be a good alternative for a written report for your students; however, I would not try to get elementary students to use it. Why? Some sites suggest that children under the age of thirteen not use their tools because of questionable photos in samples displayed on the site. I'm not talking about anything pornographic. I'm talking about photos that the parents of an elementary child might object to. So look at all sites, investigate the examples displayed and use good judgment. With that said, middle school and high school students will most likely really enjoy this site. BE SURE TO CHECK AND SEE IF IT IS UNBLOCKED BY THE COUNTY. If so, kids could use it for homework.
