The first two days back we have been exploring Thinglink as a presentation tool. Embedded below is an example from the Hawkins homeroom. Students responded to a prompt about their winter break and designed a Google slide with text, pictures, and a link. After a group photo, students tagged themselves with a link to their slide.
What we learned: -The picture is more interactive than I thought it would be. All slides that are linked are fully navigable without opening a new window! -The Thinglink pictures will be a great option for #goaltime project presentations. -How to manage our sharing preferences within Google slides and copying those links to other sites. -The images are not a spot for simultaneous collaboration. One student can edit at a time...and if they don’t save the image when they exit it will lock out others for up to 30 minutes! -Always have plan B: My planning included students “drafting” on Google slides while we figured out how everything works. This was a good thing because the website was not whitelisted until I put in tech request, but was ready to go by the second day. Good thing students had something to work on while we waited for that. This is a resource I had heard about a little, but am glad we finally decided to try it out! Comments are closed.
