I've blogged about Thinglink before, it is a great digital tool for students to present and show what they know. However, I had yet to try out Thinglink EDU. It is a paid subscription, but only $35 a year for up to 1,000 students. Since we are a Google Apps for Education District, the best part for me is that students can use their google logins to create accounts (even students under 13!). Then, you give the students a class code, and they can easily share their ThingLink creations within your class channel. If your district does not have Google accounts, there are other ways for students to get accounts based on your needs. They have a great website with tutorials and help, plus they are excellent at providing help if you email them! I've emailed twice and had a response in less than 12 hours both times!
Currently, my students are creating a ThingLink to show what they know and have learned about U.S. symbols. Examples to come later!
