Dr. Seuss ThingLink
What a great tool and so easy to use! Of all the tech tools we have explored, ThingLink is my favorite one. Searching for examples, I found a large collection of educational ThingLinks incorporating all subjects. So many great ideas that pertained to education.
I was able to navigate the site easily and create a Dr. Seuss ThingLink quickly. I found an image with several Dr. Seuss characters so I was able to put a tag for the corresponding book on each character. Finding the read aloud Dr. Seuss stories was easy on youtube as there was a large selection for each book. It may be more difficult to find read aloud stories for different authors but then I could create my own videos using iMovie. My students struggle with reading and benefit from listening to audio books. I'd like them to read along as they listen so I used examples showing the words on the page. I could develop ThingLinks for a variety of authors and load them on my classroom website (once I make one) and my students could choose from a selection of books on the ThingLink of a particular author. I look forward to using ThingLink with my students.
