Hello everyone, today we will learn about Thinglink. What is ThingLink? ThingLink is a powerful way of using technology to make education more engaging. It does this by allowing teachers to turn any image, video, or 360-degree VR into a learning experience. The website and app-based program allows for the addition of icons, or 'tags,' which can offer much media. How to use it? ThingLink lets you begin with either an image from the device you're using, or from the internet. This also applies to videos and to 360-degree VR shots. Once you've selected your base image, you then become able to begin tagging. Select something on the image you want to tag, tap it and then either enter text, tap the microphone to record an audio note, or paste a link in from an external source. You can edit the tag to show what is available with icons for images, videos, links, and more now. Add as many or as few tags as needed and ThingLink will save your progress as you go along. When finishe...
