Thinglink is a versatile tool for your classroom. Combined with Tackk, teacher presentations are simplified and distraction free. The example below demonstrates how a Thinglink image has been added to Tackk using one of the color themes to create a simple interface. I've have also added the link from Tackk to my students' Symbaloo classroom page. That's three apps in one.So how did I do this?
- First, I created a graphic image for Thinglink using Adobe's Fireworks. I wanted some additional space around my main content area of the image to add interactives in Thinglink.
- I uploaded the image I created to Thinglink and added all of the tags with some custom icons created with a free icon maker, Iconion, for Mac.
- Moving on to Tackk, I copied and pasted my Thinglink URL into Tackk and then selected a color theme that complimented my colors in my image. Make sure you join Tackk or your creations will expire in a week.
