So I introduced them to a site called <a href=\"http:\/\/thinglink.com\">Thinglink<\/a>.  It lets you create interactive photos like online newspapers sometimes publish with hotspots that provide information when you rollover them.  I created a couple of examples to show the students first.  One was a picture of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/scene\/234407058407948288\">horned lizard<\/a> with hotspots describing its adaptations. Another was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/scene\/236847633371496448\">timeline of the Civil War<\/a> with hotspots describing the different events. So once the students had an idea of what the site could do, they picked a famous Virginian, embedded the photo in a Thinglink, and added hotspots describing the person&#8217;s accomplishments.  When they were finished I posted all the links to a <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/pub?id=1Dho3cjm4UZDYTO5g4K3gw0hTo-zx6SCp6hJdr-49Pqg\">GoogleDoc<\/a> so anyone could access all the pictures for review&#8230; even at home! Hopefully you can see there are a lot of ways to use this site in your classroom.
