How to use the Thinglink The tags have the answers to 13 questions on web literacy. Some of the tags have follow-up activities that the students perform while reading the Thinglink creation. They click on an interactive link and then interact. Thus, the once bored students are no longer bored, but happily participating in web literacy skill improvement.
How I created the Thinglink First, in Easel.ly, an infographics site, I made the base picture. Then, using the snipping tool on the computer, to take a “picture” of the Easel.ly poster, I saved it as a jpeg file. Next, I uploaded the picture into Thinglink, a great site for creating interactive images. Then, I used the information on the November’s learning website to create tags on the poster.
