CHALLENGE 5
|
Ever wished you could click on a photograph to link you to more information about it? Wished your students could make interactive posters? Thinglink makes pictures interactive with text, video, audio, images, and links. When you click on a Thinglink image, you’ll see icons that take you to various multimedia resources. It's like clicking on a picture--and it has endless possibilities in education! Follow the directions provided in each module, complete the modules in order, and be sure to ask questions if you need help. Good luck!
