Each short video explores a use case with explanation of the teaching methods in action. The second part of the video series (coming soon) will look a little more closely at the pedagogical uses of ThingLink in Technical, Vocational, Education &amp; Training (TVET) settings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"tl-cta-block\"><h3>Book a free consultation<\/h3><p>If you\u2019d like to learn more about how your school can start creating interactive and immersive learning content with ThingLink, schedule a free call with one of our education experts.<\/p><button class=\"tl-button tl-button--white tl-button--small tl-cta-block__button\" data-link=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/andrew-6\/thinglinkdemo\">Book a free consultation<\/button><\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Demonstration of concepts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Many concepts require the student to comprehend complex ideas and to combine knowledge from different sources. With the help of Thinglink, you can combine various media, and better illustrate <em>big ideas<\/em>. You can create a thinglink yourself and distribute it to students, but often a good approach is to challenge students to produce content themselves. This way, the focus shifts more to the learning process and producer-centered pedagogy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"hs-embed-wrapper\" style=\"position: relative; overflow: hidden; width: 100%; height: auto; padding: 0px; min-width: 256px; display: block; margin: auto; max-width: 709px; max-height: 403px;\" data-service=\"cdn.thinglink\" data-script-embed=\"true\">\n<div class=\"hs-embed-content-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/videocard\/1428695370518495233\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-original-width=\"640\" data-original-height=\"360\"><\/iframe><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.thinglink.me\/jse\/responsive.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Documenting learning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Documentation is fundamental to making the learning process visible, it is one of the corner stones of formative assessment. The documentation can be a process, an output, or both. Multimedia documentation &#8211; using not only text but also images, videos, and audio) gives students more opportunities to express themselves than traditional methods. It can help develop new literacy skills as well as digital storytelling and production skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"hs-embed-wrapper\" style=\"position: relative; overflow: hidden; width: 100%; height: auto; padding: 0px; min-width: 256px; display: block; margin: auto; max-width: 709px; max-height: 402px;\" data-service=\"cdn.thinglink\" data-script-embed=\"true\">\n<div class=\"hs-embed-content-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/videocard\/1428695427951099905\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-original-width=\"640\" data-original-height=\"360\"><\/iframe><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.thinglink.me\/jse\/responsive.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Virtual tours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With ThingLink, students can access places and situations that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to reach. You can use our ever-expanding <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/blog\/library\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">360 image library<\/a> or ask students to create tours from scratch. The tours develop contextual understanding, introduce students to history and culture, and also to skills required in different work environments or social situations. Again, specific learning objectives would determine the method of implementation you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"hs-embed-wrapper\" style=\"position: relative; overflow: hidden; width: 100%; height: auto; padding: 0px; min-width: 256px; display: block; margin: auto; max-width: 709px; max-height: 402px;\" data-service=\"cdn.thinglink\" data-script-embed=\"true\">\n<div class=\"hs-embed-content-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/videocard\/1428695289912360961\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-original-width=\"640\" data-original-height=\"360\"><\/iframe><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.thinglink.me\/jse\/responsive.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.
