How to links

ThingLink

Grades 2-12

ThingLink allows you to create dynamic images that students can learn from and interact with. They would be great for several different content areas and give kids a different way of receiving core instruction. The videos produced in ThingLink are completely free! There, of course, is a paid version, but educators have the benefit of a free version. The video, below demonstrates the abilities of ThingLink, but take note that not all of the features he uses are found in the free teacher version.

EdPuzzle

Edpuzzle is an easy-to-use platform allowing you to engage every student, one video at a time. EdPuzzle unlocks the power of videos through simple editing tools and dazzling student data. The process is simple - find a video, add questions and assign it to your class. Watch as they progress and hold them accountable on their learning journey.

Teachermade

Teachermade is web-based platform that works to convert any assignment to a digital assignment, autograde, or create multi-modal instructional opportunities. It can be used for something as basic as an assessment or as high-level as a hyperdoc. Teachermade allows for links and audio to be added by the student or teacher. Students can respond in a wide variety of ways and Teachermade will grade most of the work for you (outside of a written out response). It works nicely with Google Classroom and the feedback about student activity makes it well worth your time. The video below is a quick tutorial to get started. The button to the left will bring up other useful videos when learning how to use Teachermade.
