One cool tool I've been exploring this summer is ThingLink. Although this app has been around for awhile, I've put it on the back burner until now. This ThingLink image shows a multitude of ways teachers and students might use this interactive technology. Click on each link to go to the original ThingLink linked to this image and see the different ways this tool was used. Have any ideas on how you might use ThingLink in your class? My colleagues and I have heard this phrase more times than we'd like. If you're wondering why these comments are annoying to teachers, take a look at this infographic. What's not included is a wage comparison between teachers' salaries and the wages earned by those in other occupations who's educational requirements are similar. For those statistics check out this article from the NY Times or this other infographic.
