NOTE: I would love to stop and demo everything on the iPad too, but there is not enough time to do that unfortunately. There will always be iPad options listed. I am happy to help you before or after class, but I will not be able to take time to demo the potential apps in class. Most of the time is is actually easier than on the laptops. Please don't hesitate to ask, if you need help.

[|Make Your Images Interactive - ThingLink]
ThingLink interactive images help students develop 21st century skills and enrich their enthusiasm for learning. Teachers can use ThingLink images as interactive learning modules (ILMs) that activate and inspire students with creative and effective learning experiences. 1. Create your Account at Thinglink: ** [] ** and the main site @http://www.thinglink.com/ I suggest using the education side. It is your choice, but I suggest you sign up using your Email rather than Facebook or Twitter. media type="custom" key="23765628"

3. Upload your picture (//the one of of YOU//) an add not less than 5 spots of interactivity to your image.Think of this as a little resume.

5. Now that you have the interactivity added to your image, we will learn how to add (embed) the picture to your About Me page of your website.

GOOD NEWs: Thinglink now has an iPad app, and it is FREE. and new!! @https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/thinglink/id647304300?ls=1&mt=8

iPad users, email the link, then copy and paste into Safari. Click the share button to get the embed code and follow the same procedure as on the computer. **6. Now lets make a second image**. This time something you could use in class or have your students do. Think about what you are going to teach. Find an image that goes with a lesson and put not less than 5 spots of interactivity. 7. Create a new post and add it to your website with a reflection about how you could use Thinglink in your classroom. Briefly give 2 lesson ideas. 8. Title of the Post: **Thinglink in the __ classroom**. In the blank put your content area. (i.e. 2nd grade, Social Studies, Science, English, etc.)  9.
