ThingLink is such an engaging tool! It allows me to bring history to life while connecting with students across any distance. I thoroughly enjoy how quick and easy it is to create/set up while embedding interactive points and tools. I am able to add depth to my lessons by exposing students to multiple resources. It encourages independence and critical thinking while making each topic genuinely accessible.
Nothing! ThingLink is incredibly intuitive and the features were easy to implement.

I work a long time with ThingLink and have made some international project based on ThingLink but even in my daily classroom I let it use my students to work with in projects and summaries of work flows.
I like that students can use this product very easy and in a way that they can be proud of theirs work. It looks professional and give my students the one of the best software for to show what they learned and how they think. From the beginning through a own drawn/taken picture to the end when they can show their progress in the project.
The enrolment is quiet technical and gives my colleagues a huge step to overcome before they want really to use it in their classrooms.

Being a creative teacher, I love offering this program to my students, however the price gets costly every year. I still continue to use it because of how excited my student get to share new learning.
What I love about Thinkglink is that it can be used as an educational platform that makes learning exciting for students. Instead of writing a book report on the Revolutionary War, students can use their research to create a dynamic visual and share their expertise with the class. This interactive platform allows students to be creative and explorative.
I love this platform, however I would love that the platform allow students to draw picture and create diagrams. For instance students could teach a math or science topic to the class. As students use their presentation skills to share their ideas, the program can switch to other images or picture with the tabs that pertain to each.

Thinglink helped me land a job. I teach courses in multimedia journalism at the university level. Recently, I interviewed for a job and discussed my professional work and the tools and software I use. I used a Thinkglink example. It is always interesting to see someone's facial reaction when they learn of the product for the first time. For example - What is this? Wow! Where did you get this? How do you use it? Wow!
Thinglink, to me, is an immersive software that enhances teaching and the relaying of information.
I don't see a downside as I have been with the software for quite some time and.

I have been using thinglink for many years and I find it a fundamental ally for my lessons and the training courses I organize.
Thinglink is a very versatile tool that allows you to create many types of projects based on your skills. It lends itself to simple and fast work, but also to structure very complex and rich paths.
I think the integration with other tools could still be integrated as already done with Canva. In addition, basic models could be structured to be reused for new users.

Overall, ThingLink has been an answer to many of my questions as a teacher. It allows me to engage students in a creative and innovative way! Thanks!
ThingLink is a very user friendly program. I am a US History teacher, images are extremely important in understanding what has happened in our country. ThingLink allows me to have students directly interact with images from history by identifying them and making connections between them. I also like the fact that ThingLink allows me to purchase just the amount of subscriptions that I need for my students...it's not a one-size fits all program. Tech support has been awesome although I rarely have to use it. Keep up the great work!
So far...nothing! Uploading music could be easier but that's just an issue of getting the actual music to upload.

The benefits are untold. We haven't been using this long but students love it. It is easy to use, and, once I've put it together--it is a permanent resource. Students are engaged, the learning is targeted and individualized, and I am building an awesome resource bank.
Seldom have I been so impressed with the potential of a program for math or foreign language! This is amazing; the procedure can be laid out on cards with a brief video clip (from a source or a voice over) on each step. My students love this resource.
It is complete in every way; there is nothing I like least.

I really like ThingLink. I love the capabilities of the content and the opportunity to change the way workforce education happens with this software. I'm excited to work with it even more.
This software is intuitive, easy to use and easy to deploy. I LOVE that the possibilities for content creation are endless.
I'd love to see more icon options, but with the option to design and upload your own, I don't really see the need. I've been working on the development side and have yet to roll out a finished product, but thus far, even sharing my work has been super simple.

I love TL and would love to see its utility increase.
I love that you can create a tour for your participants to use as self-guided learning. It is interactive, and the features you have available make it easy for the end user.
I would like to see the possibility of in application browsing- My participants had to leave the browser of the ThingLink to view the hyperlinks and some were confused on how to get back. There are several steps that can get overwhelming to less tech-savvy participants.

It is possible for me to present very good 360 VR solutions at a good price-performance ratio.
The various possible combinations of the different tools leave a lot of room for maneuver in the design of the e-learning offerings.
The offer is very good. However, one could have even more options for customization.

Great! One time the site would not accept my card payment and customer service was kind and responsive.
Very flexible in its many applications for my classes/content.
None, I think the product is great. Could be a tad cheaper but I think it's still affordable for schools that have the budget.

I think the tool gives great possibly for Education and I would like to see the 360 videos to be economically more accessible to Education. I will continue developing further student activities around Thinglink
The ease of use and deployment to students, the endless possibilities for students to exploit graphics/photos to describe
The UI could be modernized and the possibility of the design platform to be accessible to all devices and touch screen compatible such as iPad

Excellent!
Easy to upload background images. Intuitive in nature, tutorials are also available. Creates eye-catching user-friendly a-synchronous study units containing a variety of media and tasks.
I would love a checklist at the end of the ThingLink for users to check that they haven't missed anything.

our overall experience is correct, a bit slow customer service, app needs some improvements and updates.
The idea, when it was introduced several years ago, was magic...simple to use and with the benefits of introducing a lot of information without damaging the visual. we did ask a lot of our clients if they would like to use it.
Somehow it did not show its full potential in everyday use, we use it for one client for their website, but apart from that, it will be nice to use it on banners, Facebook cover, or posts (like it was before). it needs to be aplicable everywhere.

The students really enjoyed this feature (of listening to my voice and hearing my instructions).
I enjoyed being able to use thing link in collaboration with Canva or other programs such as Blend to incorporate audio for my Emerging Language Learners and Special Education Students. This helped make my website more engaging and interactive.
As a teacher when I paid the membership once my website was viewed a certain number of times the students were not able to view on the original website, they had to be directed to thingklink. But once I contacted customer service they were able to fix the issue for me. There should be no view limit for teachers as students will view my pages multiple times for educational purposes.

It is easy to get started with ThingLink. And it is very useful for repeted learning sessions.
It is easy to start use ThingLink. I can mix text, pictures, video and voice-over in a meaningful learning situation.
I takes some time to produce nice learning activities in ThingLink the first few times.

I love using ThingLink with my students. They are able to create posters and presentations with uniqueness. It far beats paper and pencils.
The only thing..it can be a little wonky sometimes but that's all digital technology.
