ThingLink

One of my new favorite sites for student creation and collaboration is ThingLink. ThingLink is a free site and iOS app in which you select a picture to upload from your computer, import from Facebook or Flickr, or from a web URL. Images come to life as you and others can "touch" the image, adding comments, videos, links, and more to the image. In the spirit of Instagram and Flickr, others can follow you on ThingLink as well. What an incredible tool for students to collaborate by sharing research on a topic, or for teachers to network in sharing their professional ThingLinks. My first creation on ThingLink is a resource for my first grade cubs to use in researching the needs and lifecycle of Apple Trees. Feel free to touch the image and add a comment or link! :)
