Professor of History Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Way to Engage Students in Online Classes!" August 11, 2021 5.0 I recently started to embed what I call "Extra Credit Easter Eggs" in each weekly module. What I do is "hide" an extra credit opportunity somewhere in the week's lesson. For example, at the end of a video or audio recording, there might be instructions like visit History.com and write one paragraph identification on what happened this day in history, or read an article about a recent archeological discovery and write a summary, etc. To add more variety, I started using ThingLink images. I always post an image in the header for each weekly lesson, and so I took a few of those images and created "extra credit" assignments. For example, in a lesson on nationalism, I upload a picture of the 1980 US Olympic hockey team standing on the podium with their gold medals. I link a 5-minute YouTube video of the game highlights. I also embed the "information" (i) icon on the picture. When a student clicks this button, a card pops up, giving them instructions for an extra credit opportunity to write a one-paragraph summary of this game and explain why it is important, especially in terms of nationalism. Using ThingLink this way has allowed me to turn my static images into interactive teaching tools, which make the online course much more engaging and interesting. Using ThingLink has made my online class much more dynamic. Pros I am constantly looking for ways to make my online World and American history classes more interactive and engaging. I was introduced to ThingLink through the Instructional Design team at my college. I love that there are many different interactive ways to create engaging content for an online class. I am an intermediate computer/internet user and I found this software easy to use. I have created several images already with embedded video links, hyperlinks, and text. The images I include in each weekly lesson are no longer static but interactive, helping to change the perception of online classes to one in which online classes are seen as exciting, interactive, fun, and meaningful rather than simply text uploaded by a professor from a canned template. Cons I did have some challenges at first using this software. Originally, I had a small quota for the number of times my ThinkLink could be viewed, which was limiting because I teach large introductory courses every semester. But, I talked to the Instructional Designers, who were able to get me more seats and views. Initially, I tried to embed the ThingLink (using the embed code) directly into my Learning Management System (LMS). However, my LMS will not take the embed code. So instead, I have to copy and paste the link and embed the content that way. I struggled at first with this method because I was not aware that I needed to check the "Hide ThingLink interface. If checked, media will take a whole viewport of a browser" box. Once I figured this out, I have had no problems embedding ThingLink images in my LMS weekly module pages. Review Source MF Melisa F.

The more I explored and found more features, the more excited I was about using the program creatively. I ended up using the software for our Culminating Activity (Exam) in my courses. Students had to upload a famous piece of artwork that they chose, and identify all of the Elements and Principles of Design (Grade 9 & 10 Ontario Curriculum). They also had to research the artist, time period, art movement, etc. They were also encouraged to add appropriate music (either time-specific or mood-specific) and extra links to interesting YouTube videos or resources related to their paintings. The work my students produced using the software, after a few short tutorials, was incredible. I feel the activity was extremely worthwhile. The project had high efficacy, and follows a substantial number of trends and mandates in education, including a love for learning and nurturing autonomy. I particularly enjoyed that students were able to apply all of the core concepts that we covered in class into one solid, easy to assess project. The learning was embedded into the assignment so it was a healthy mix of requirements and fun. They were also excited to present their work and demonstrated personal investment and pride in their work. Pros There isn't anything I don't like about this software. It's incredibly easy to use, my students enjoy using it, and the final product is both entertaining, and allows me to assess their learning at (almost) a glance. I can see how ThingLink would be useful in ANY industry. It is a user-friendly program that yields a professional looking product. I purchased a licence for a year, but I will certainly be renewing. The price point for individual accounts is reasonable. I do hope, however, that School Boards will consider purchasing licensing for all Educators. Cons Initially when uploading pictures, the size was determined by the file that I uploaded. I had to 'shop' for the perfect size to upload, which was confusing for some students (learning about pixellation and file sizes, etc). I believe this part has been adjusted. The last set of assignments seemed to have more consistent sizing. I would prefer that the picture fits to the size of the monitor automatically. I may have overlooked an option to do this. I'm still finding new features! Reason for choosing ThingLink The availability of ThingLink via web was the most efficient and effective option for me. Google Slides would have got the job done, but quite honestly, I think the kids would have been bored creating a slideshow about a painting. Thinglink made it fresh and exciting for them. It warmed my heart to see the kids loving art as much as I do! Review Source MM Melanie M.

There are issues that I would like resolved, but will continue to use the software regardless. Pros ThingLink is very user friendly. While I primarily use this software to upload and tag videos, my collogues use the picture features and insert them into our FAQs. This provide a helpful alternative to learning for students who are more visually motivated. Cons There are a few bugs and corrections I would like to see implemented in the future. For one, the "approximate time on media" statistic does not accurately collect data for newer videos I have uploaded (since May 2021). While I am working with Support, a weekly status report from the company addressing these issues and providing updates would be appreciated, as it keeps us in the loop as to what issues ThingLink is aware of, and what they are working to fix. While the people I have interacted with have been helpful, I would like more transparency within the company and for this reason I have dropped Customer Service to 4/5 stars. Additionally, while adding tags to videos, it is difficult to insert the tag at the exact frame I need as the play head does not "snap" to exact frames (compared to Adobe Premiere Pro, for instance) and instead operates as more of a sliding scale. Not a huge issue, but more of a stylistic ease-of-use feature that I would like to see implemented. Review Source MM Myra M.

Teacher Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A fantastic tool" August 12, 2021 5.0 I have been using thinglink for many years and I find it a fundamental ally for my lessons and the training courses I organize. Pros Thinglink is a very versatile tool that allows you to create many types of projects based on your skills. It lends itself to simple and fast work, but also to structure very complex and rich paths. Cons I think the integration with other tools could still be integrated as already done with Canva. In addition, basic models could be structured to be reused for new users. Review Source KS Karsten S. Teacher Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Modern education software" August 11, 2021 4.0 I work a long time with ThingLink and have made some international project based on ThingLink but even in my daily classroom I let it use my students to work with in projects and summaries of work flows. Pros I like that students can use this product very easy and in a way that they can be proud of theirs work. It looks professional and give my students the one of the best software for to show what they learned and how they think. From the beginning through a own drawn/taken picture to the end when they can show their progress in the project. Cons The enrolment is quiet technical and gives my colleagues a huge step to overcome before they want really to use it in their classrooms. Reason for choosing ThingLink It looks very professional and gives my students the feeling of professionell work. Review Source LS Ludmila S. Professor of Education Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Teaching should call for Positive Action" August 11, 2021 5.0 I enjoyed using the software and had a blast with my science classes. All the teacher candidates in my course deigned and taught Thinglink lessons at the local schools and the school bought the accounts for teachers. Pros Thinglink is an easy to use software that allows you to use lots of interactive and diverse elements to create a rich learning experience for the learners. It starts with a FREE trial and for $35 a year a teacher can enhance teaching with the ThingLink interactive and 3D tools. Cons I was upset that I lost my projects when the account was changed from paid to Free. Reason for choosing ThingLink Thinglink has a more user-friendly interface, more user-friendly and have a better support system! Review Source KP Kelli P.

It allows me to bring history to life while connecting with students across any distance. I thoroughly enjoy how quick and easy it is to create/set up while embedding interactive points and tools. I am able to add depth to my lessons by exposing students to multiple resources. It encourages independence and critical thinking while making each topic genuinely accessible. Cons Nothing! ThingLink is incredibly intuitive and the features were easy to implement. Review Source sP sunghan P.

It was easy to share videos and content created by students. Pros As a teacher and a user of thinklink, I have been using it for years. Accessibility is very high, and students can easily create content on their own. I would like to commend this platform in its own right, as it allows teachers and students to engage naturally during class. Cons There are times when the server is unstable, and sometimes it doesn't work well on other platforms. I'm not sure why, but sometimes uncomfortable cases occur during class. Review Source SH Sven H. Educator Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Attach interactive content to plain documents or pictures" August 11, 2021 5.0 Pros ThingLink's key feature is using previous content such as images or even 360° images and adding tags to it. Those tags can be any type of media, be it another ThingLink, an embed code, image, video, audio, you name it. Best of all, you can create custom tags and design content that is perfectly suited for your goals. Cons I have not found any feature missing that I would need for now. Reason for choosing ThingLink ThingLinks can easily be shared via link making them a great for collaboration. h5p requires either the use of html files or publishing on specific websites which is a huge hassle for me.

Un eccellente strumento Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Un eccellente strumento didattico" August 11, 2021 5.0 Sino entusiasta di questo strumento lo consiglio ai colleghi e i miei studenti li conoscono e lo apprezzano molto Pros Utilizzo thinglink sia per creare lezioni dinamiche e creative con i miei studenti coinvolgendli nel loro apprendimento. Adoro le immagini 360 sono di notevole effetto e gli alunni riescono facilmente a personalizzarle inserendo nei tag video, immagini e la loro voce. Meraviglioso. Presento sempre questa app anche nei miei corsi di formazione docenti la ritengo validissima per creare tour virtuali. Cons L'unica cosa che non mi ha entusiasmato è stato quando nella versione free non potevo creare classi con gli studenti. Ma sono passata al piano premium con molto entusiasmo.

One time the site would not accept my card payment and customer service was kind and responsive. Pros Very flexible in its many applications for my classes/content. Cons None, I think the product is great. Could be a tad cheaper but I think it's still affordable for schools that have the budget. Review Source TL Trudy L. Doctoral Student/ Edu Consultant Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Tool for Self Guided Learning" August 12, 2021 5.0 I love TL and would love to see its utility increase. Pros I love that you can create a tour for your participants to use as self-guided learning. It is interactive, and the features you have available make it easy for the end user. Cons I would like to see the possibility of in application browsing- My participants had to leave the browser of the ThingLink to view the hyperlinks and some were confused on how to get back. There are several steps that can get overwhelming to less tech-savvy participants. Review Source Sean M. Lecturer & Digital Advanced Practitioner Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Accessible for all users.

Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Thinglink: Making learning in the classroom meaningful, relevant, and exciting!" August 11, 2021 5.0 Being a creative teacher, I love offering this program to my students, however the price gets costly every year. I still continue to use it because of how excited my student get to share new learning. Pros What I love about Thinkglink is that it can be used as an educational platform that makes learning exciting for students. Instead of writing a book report on the Revolutionary War, students can use their research to create a dynamic visual and share their expertise with the class. This interactive platform allows students to be creative and explorative. Cons I love this platform, however I would love that the platform allow students to draw picture and create diagrams. For instance students could teach a math or science topic to the class. As students use their presentation skills to share their ideas, the program can switch to other images or picture with the tabs that pertain to each. Review Source YA Yeyn A.

I teach courses in multimedia journalism at the university level. Recently, I interviewed for a job and discussed my professional work and the tools and software I use. I used a Thinkglink example. It is always interesting to see someone's facial reaction when they learn of the product for the first time. For example - What is this? Wow! Where did you get this? How do you use it? Wow! Pros Thinglink, to me, is an immersive software that enhances teaching and the relaying of information. Cons I don't see a downside as I have been with the software for quite some time and.

We haven't been using this long but students love it. It is easy to use, and, once I've put it together--it is a permanent resource. Students are engaged, the learning is targeted and individualized, and I am building an awesome resource bank. Pros Seldom have I been so impressed with the potential of a program for math or foreign language! This is amazing; the procedure can be laid out on cards with a brief video clip (from a source or a voice over) on each step. My students love this resource. Cons It is complete in every way; there is nothing I like least. Review Source SB Stephane B.
