Using Thinglink

6/29/2014

I spent the day creating a Thinglink for a presentation I am doing next week.  Thinglink is a presentation format where you start with a single picture and then add media links to it so that they are all on one page. I tried to use this with my students earlier this year when they were putting together their research presentations, but found it wonky because you need to have a URL for every link.  This was difficult on the iPads but it would not have been too challenging on computer since you can upload everything to Google Drive and then share a link.  Yes, I know you can do that with the Drive App, but some Google genius locked the share link function so that only those people you have specified can view the document.  Yes, you can reset it from your computer, but it takes WAY TOO MANY STEPS to do this.  Google needs to fix this!

I created this Thinglink on my computer, not on the ipad.  The search function makes finding videos and images very easy, but still took longer than I wanted.  Below is the end result. Teachers can easily get an edu account.  I can see the possiblities, but the time it took makes it not in my top 10 list.
