Watch how I create a personal calendar using my favorite memories & Shutterfly!
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...
"I love this idea! I have seen many of these calendars and wondered how to make one myself. I showed it to my wife, and we plan to start collecting photos for this year's calendar. The instructions seem easy enough, and they are explained very well. You have done a great job explaining everything so clearly that even I feel confident enough to create a calendar myself! I can't wait to start this project. I have already decided to send the finished product to my extended family, who we don't get to see very often. Thank you for the great idea!"
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris-I really do enjoy making these every year...hopefully you enjoy it too!
