So when I saw the course they had as an opportunity to learn what other features they have I jumped at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me show a little bit of how I\u2019ve used it to demonstrate the possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My first project I used it for was a way to dress up a PDF map of our college. I could highlight different areas of the map to say a little bit about what to expect in each building and in some cases take a virtual tour of the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.losmedanos.edu\/maps\/buildingmaps.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"754\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-09-at-1.51.17-PM.png?fit=768%2C566&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-09-at-1.51.17-PM.png 1024w, https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-09-at-1.51.17-PM-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-09-at-1.51.17-PM-768x566.png 768w, https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-09-at-1.51.17-PM-200x147.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The next application was to create a poster presentation for a data coach program I was involved in. I had the typical abstract\/summary, then conclusions and results from a marketing survey I ran. With ThingLink I was able to make it interactive so I should expand various sections to show a deeper dive into the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"507\" data-original-width=\"2404\" data-original-height=\"1270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/card\/1440880689636442115\" type=\"text\/html\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.thinglink.me\/jse\/responsive.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I used Thinglink to teach a visual concept of the process of web design thinking that I call the 5 D\u2019s of web design. Using a graphic created in Canva I used the linkup feature and then created a information graphic as to what is involved in each step of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" data-original-width=\"1920\" data-original-height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/card\/1607209917842718721\" type=\"text\/html\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.thinglink.me\/jse\/responsive.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>I also utilized a new function of Thinklink for creating a quick survey. This allowed me to start off a zoom presentation and ask a quick two question gauge of my audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"384\" data-original-width=\"1000\" data-original-height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/card\/1594117126375866371\" type=\"text\/html\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.thinglink.me\/jse\/responsive.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Lasty, in the same session I used Thinglink o create a powerpoint style presentation but with greater visual interactivity with animation and embedded google slides from another presentation. This allowed me expand on details when I was presenting on the subject I was talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" data-original-width=\"1440\" data-original-height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/card\/1613345574164103169\" type=\"text\/html\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"\" mozallowfullscreen=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/cdn.thinglink.me\/jse\/responsive.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, it also has the ability to present content that can be viewed and interacted with in an accessible way with built in screen readers and the ability to break up content in a logical flow. The trick is you must design with accessibility in mind because it\u2019s not going magically create it if you don\u2019t have the end user in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not a free program but it has some very specific uses in the future of the whole metaverse concept of a virtual immersive world. Thinglink helps to give a little understanding to the application of this use for education and presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color has-background has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/blog\/thinglink-certified-creator-course-is-live\/#.YxupqOzMI41\">Learn about Thinglink by getting your own certificate<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope to next make a virtual visual walk through of our art gallery where you can control what you want to view.
