VTS enhances aesthetic appreciation…..and stops at teaching content • So when does the teacher share his or her knowledge about the history surrounding the image ? • THINGLINK is a visual platform • It is one way of bridging the gap between conducting a guided discussion to “teaching” historical relevance.
www.thinglink.com: create an account and upload images. After you upload images, add informational “tags”
Thinglink “Channels” these are used to organize your images into logical groups
Thinglinkallows you to add “TAGS” to the image. These “tags” can be your own writing, a link to videos, links to other images, etc.
Here is an example of how THINGLINK can be used to enhance student learning about this work of art in the NCMA Click here
