Feedback about ThingLink by KELLY FOO KAI LI (NIE)

Rather time consuming lesson prep

Interactivity of the platform is good. Reminds me of Prezi 10 years ago.

Expansive and fun to use. Could potentially be used for any CS.

In order to really create immersive VR experiences / make it more interesting than a regular PowerPoint, it would require mastery of the software

Visual Exploration

Fun way to make thinking visible.

A little tricky to get the hang of. Could be tough for students to use during class time

The mini grab scenario that the group came up with was amazing!!!! I thought thinglink was a interior design kind of tool and nvr thought it would extend to SS

for first time user, thinglink is abit difficult to navigate

Love the scene and options chooser

2024-10-11 01:37:14 UTC

Features are not exactly intuitive to use

Quite engaging, i enjoyed the mock up on food delivery riders as it was emotionally affective and i could immerse myself in the food delivery rider's inner world

Is there room for collaboration between kids across multiple devices?

We enjoy the scenes, interface is not too overwhelming, easy to navigate :D

Visualisation Tool

Great way for students to try organising concepts. Maybe they can point out in an image where certain concepts are displayed in real life

can be very fun if you know how to use it. It's immersive and authentic. Reminds me of those Led exhibits you see in museum where you can click on stuff to learn things.

the cost can be a little disincentive when wanting to trial several lesson plans out

The tool is quite hard to learn and use. I felt it's not very intuitive from the hands-on experience. Maybe more time is needed to explore

Possible for an integration of ThingLinks across different users?

When using ThingLink, how can teachers ensure that students are still engaging with deep reading, writing, and text analysis, rather than just interacting with multimedia elements (the fun aspect)?
