When does a picture go beyond a
thousand words? When there are interactive aspects to it such as images,
videos, links, and more. Students can easily add interactive aspects to images
they have created, as well as to maps, photographs, and other types of visual
images. With the free account, students can choose icons to represent the
interactive aspect. To register free as an educator, go to https://www.thinglink.com/register?student=0&teacher=1 or to register as a student, go tohttps://www.thinglink.com/register?teacher=0&student=1.
I believe this is an awesome creativity tool because ThingLink
is an interactive media platform that empowers students to create more engaging
content by adding rich media links to photos and videos. Out of all the tools I
reviewed I believe I like the thinglink the most because it helps students
develop 21st century skills, enrich their enthusiasm for learning, and engage
like never before.
Have you ever thought about the
soundtrack of the text you are reading? Do you have students who struggle with
reading and need ways to make text more compelling? Booktrack allows you and
your students to create soundtracks to text, public domain texts, or your
students’ own stories. There are free sound clips including public domain
songs, ambient sounds, and sound effects. Completely web-based and very easy to
use, this has to be heard to be believed. To get started, teachers can create
an account and add their students or have each student create an account. Click
here to begin – http://booktrackclassroom.com/.
This tool is wonderful for any teacher that teaches
English. I believe this is a great tool to use for both students and teachers
because it helps assist those students who aren’t very well at reading. The students
will be able to listen to the books online and the teacher is able to keep
track of what the students have read.
Zaption allows you to take videos
from passive tools to interactive ones where you can add links, questions,
surveys, and so much more. There are even reports to see progress. To sign up
for a free account on Zaption, go to https://www.zaption.com/signup and choose the basic free account.
That account will have more than enough to get you and your students started
with the tool.
I think this might be a good tool for teachers to use
because it allows you to make surveys and questions. The teachers can make
questions for a test and then have students get online and take the test
instead of doing paper formatted test.
Piktochart is a free, web-based tool
that allows students to create infographics. Students can use their own images,
visuals from the web, or icons from the tool. By tying together images, text,
charts, and other visuals, students can make information come to life. To
create a free account, go to https://magic.piktochart.com/users/sign_up.
This would be a great tool for students to use because they
can create wonder presentations or blogs. They can use Piktochart to bring dry
reports to life and make it fun, it can also be place in slide show format to
help spread your information

I believe the thinglink creativity tool can help support learning because it
allows students use their own creativity to create masterpieces. The TPACK
model is Effective technology integration for pedagogy around specific subject
matter requires developing sensitivity to the dynamic, transactional
relationship between these components of knowledge situated in unique contexts
and I believe the Thinglink tool falls into place with the guidelines of the
TPACK model. Individual teachers, grade-level, school-specific factors,
demographics, culture, and other factors ensure that every situation is unique,
and no single combination of content, technology, and pedagogy will apply for
every teacher, every course, or every view of teaching.

Thinglink uses tools such as images, videos, links, and more. Students can
easily add interactive aspects to images they have created, as well as to maps,
photographs, and other types of visual images. ThingLink is an interactive
media platform that empowers publishers, educators, brands, and bloggers to
create more engaging content by adding rich media.
4. It is important to start with a clear definition of
what we mean by creativity, as there are two completely different types. The
first is technical creativity, where people create new theories, technologies
or ideas. This is the type of creativity we discuss here. The second is
artistic creativity, which is more born of skill, technique and
self-expression.
Creativity
is an essential change management tool for effective teachers. Creativity is more important than
ever, considering today's accelerating rate of change in businesses, schools,
and students everyday lives. In fact, it's an essential change management tool
for effective teachers.
