Join Our Post FETC Event!
We are pleased to have met many wonderful educators at FETC last week and excited to introduce them to the powerful features of ThingLink Premium for Educators. We wish we could have met even more of you, but we realise your school’s budget and time for PD might not support attending a live conference during the middle of the school year. That’s why we offer flexible professional development and training options at ThingLink.
Whether you were at FETC or NotAtFETC this year, we would like to invite you to a webinar to enjoy the resources we shared. You’ll get a great overview of our tools and there will be time for questions. We hope to inspire you from a comfortable spot in your home this February.

We invite you to come out and work with us when a VR in the Classroom Bootcamp is scheduled in your backyard, OR contact us to host a Bootcamp of your own.

An increasing number of educators are interested in including ThingLink and the new 360 photo editor for VR in their toolkits.

Create a Travel Guide and Tour
The next activity in the ThingLink Summer VR Challenge is to create a travel guide as a model for a project that encourages students to construct knowledge as they create. Explore the image above for a simple example, created using a CC licensed image found in the equirectangular group of Flicker.
Explore These 360/VR Vocabulary Lessons!
We are extremely pleased to share the first round of interactive 360/VR vocabulary lessons created by amazing educators participating in the ThingLink Summer VR Challenge. These 360/VR pioneers have created highly engaging lessons filled with annotations that guide the learning and provide students with flexible learning paths to ensure success for all learners. They offer opportunities to collect data to personalize instruction and they model good digital citizenship through the use of proper source crediting of images licensed for reuse.
This self-paced learning event starts on June 23, 2017!
