ThingLink

   
     ThingLink(opens in new tab) is a clever tool that makes annotating digital items super simple. You can use images, your own pictures, videos, or 360-degree interactive images for tagging. By adding tags, you can allow students to interact with the media, drawing more detail from it.

The power of ThingLink is in its ability to pull in so many forms of rich media. Link to a useful website, add in your own vocal prompts, place images within videos, and more.

ThingLink is not only for teachers though. It can also be a useful tool for creating and submitting work, encouraging students to incorporate varying sources of information and overlay it all into one coherent project.

ThingLink is available online and also via iOS and Android apps. Since the data is stored in the cloud it makes for low-impact use on devices and is easy to share with a simple link.

How does ThingLink work?
ThingLink allows you to begin with either an image from the device you're using, or from the internet. This also applies to videos and to 360-degree VR shots. Once you've selected your base image, you're then able to begin tagging.

Select something on the image you want to tag, tap it and then either enter text, tap the microphone to record an audio note, or paste a link in from an external source. You then can edit the tag to show what is available with icons for images, videos, links, and more.

Add as many or as few tags as needed and ThingLink will save your progress as you go along. When finished, you'll see an upload icon as the project is uploaded to the ThingLink servers. 

You should then be able to share the link, which will take anyone clicking on it to the ThingLink website, so they won't need an account to use the project online.
