Chief ThingLinker Stepping Down

That’s right.  I’m finally ready to step down from my ThingLink throne and pass the torch. Or something.  What I’m trying to say is… I’ve been doing this iPad thing for a bit.  *I* create the Nearpods… *I* create the Socrative assessments… *I* create the ThingLinks… and it’s time to get my students more involved in creating content.

My first step will be to assign a ThingLink task.  Now that ThingLink has provided a platform for tracking student accounts, I’m ready to take the leap.

I pondered creating a rubric, but since this is the first time my students are creating a math ThingLink, I figure this is more of an instructional and ed-tech ice-breaker.  I’ll use what we all learn from this experience to create a rubric later.

Here’s the write-up I’d planned to share with my students.  Have you asked students to create ThingLinks?  Are you a master at writing rubrics?  Feedback and insight are welcome! 🙂

Here’s a follow-up post with student work samples – enjoy!
