Introducing App: ThingLink

Here is another free app that I would recommend to every teacher: ThingLink. This app allows images to come alive with text, video, and audio. Students can create an interactive image, then use it as a presentation tool in class. It can be viewed and shared via email or on the web. Some of you have used tiki-toki before to create a timeline. This can do very much the same thing as tiki-toki. The language teachers have asked their students to create a project describing their family. Using Pic Collage to capture multiple images then opening the collage in ThingLink makes the process simple and easy. Here is a link to my tutorial. THINGLINK

Introducing Apps: Tellagami and Pic Collage

Two apps with unlimited potential are Tellagami and Pic Collage. Tellagami is an app that allows you to tell a story via a Gami (avatar). The story can be recorded using your own voice or using an artificial voice to communicate a type written text. I recommend you download the app today, by clicking here, as it is free for a limited time. Click here for my tutorial about Tellagami. Pic Collage is a handy collage making app. You can think about it as a way to make an electronic poster complete with text and stickers. It is very simple to use, yet has some pretty powerful editing tools. Pic Collage is an outstanding app to use in conjunction with other apps, as everything you do in Pic Collage can easily be saved to your camera roll. Click here to download Pic Collage for Free.
