Follow me as I gain an understanding and "serve the tea" on the technology tools I learn about this semester. I am hoping for a better understanding on the ever changing tools of technology, as well as gaining insight and feedback from others. Technology tools is an area that I can improve on, and will improve my abilities, both personally and professionally. I plan on sharing the tools I find helpful, the tools I still have yet to understand, and my honest opinion on all of it!
What is "ThingLink?" and how does it stack up to the "Old Fashioned" way of learning?? There are several new technology apps that provide ways to interact with others, especially during trainings. It really is amazing to see how technology has evolved, and what is available to help convey ideas or theories to students/learners. ThingLink is a platform that allows users to create interactive images and videos. You can add links, information, and multimedia content to specific parts of your image or video, making it engaging and informative. Although this app can be utilized in many different educational scenarios, the one scenario that grabbed my attention was virtual fieldtrips!! How in the world is this possible?? I come from an era that thrived on school field trips!! Is it possible to provide the same experience virtually? I guess it depends on how you look at it. I think the whole idea of a field trip is to get away, to share an experience with your class...
