Zwölf Tipps, Tools und Schritte für ThingLink
Erstens: Einführung in ThingLink

So, today, I wanted to make a 10-year-later post on a website called Thinglink. I used the business website meant for adults a lot as a kid because I enjoyed being able to add pictures to images. I used to make a lot of top 10 lists on the website with horrible grammar, even for a middle schooler. I also don't think a lot of my opinions would have held up as well. A lot has changed in 10 years; case in point, the website removed a bunch of old content to be more business-oriented instead of blog-related. My page, of course, is completely gone.
It's odd thinking about how this other life I had online completely vanished. I had people I talked to regularly online there as well. There was this one user named Conzilla, who I talked to a lot on there. He even made some fan art of me fighting Deadpool. Honestly, I regret not saving it. I thought it would be online forever. I wonder where he is now. We didn't know a lot about each other's personal lives. He said he was doing chemotherapy; I don't remember what kind of cancer.
I don't know if he is still alive; I had no contact info at the time. If he is alive, would he even remember my name? I had a few followers but no idea how many lives I touched. Did I touch any? Were they bots or catfish? How would I quantify the impact of my blog and dogshit opinions. There is no way to know; it is a mystery no one cares to answer, yet the number does exist somewhere.
I have become like Ozymandias, a plaque without any statues, yet I am still alive. I am free to start again, not bound by this trivial fact. I can never mention this website to anyone again, and no one would know my shame or my joy with the site. Its essence feels like a vapor falling down my hand. Its memories could die with me if I allow it. I don't feel strong or weak thinking about that power; oddly, I feel a sense of peace.
I know I will face this feeling again. When this site collapses, you will know what I am feeling. We will likely grieve at first but then feel the room get colder whenever we think of our old online names. Names that others will only know us by. Names that will keep our memories alive even if our real birth names are forgotten. When all of our names are forgotten, will we then get the chance to visit the Akastic Record and ask the Book of Life to see our dumb post once again and ask the weight of each one?
It might be silly to think about. It's rather trivial. I think it's more likely then the records being like Yog-Sothoth who guards and is the gate. Not remembering us due to how insignificant we are. If this is the case, however. Then we have the privilege of musing on the questions no one cares to ask.
I’ve been trying to get slides for my presentation and I don’t know if it’s me, the fact I’m covering something 10 years ago, or Google going down hill but it’s so tedious to find a decent image.
Seriously I remember using websites like ThingLink which required you to find images for a post. It was never this difficult. I could finish a ThingLink post in the time it took me to find one image now.
Genderqueer, Thinglink, and Highschool Freshmen. A lesson for the ages.
The task put before the school librarian group was to design a lesson plan centered around standards that taught technical skills through a collaborative instructional session. The thought process behind choosing this topic was to introduce students to diverse literature that expresses several essential literary elements through the lens of award-winning literature while integrating technology skills. The topic produced after a brainstorming session was not readily agreed upon at first and required more communal finesse an agreement to come to a final agreement. The group was comfortable with a younger age group and had to step out of members' comfort zones to design a lesson plan for freshmen in high school. The final decision driver was the age limitation of thinglink is 13, thus making the high school student the requisite age group for the assignment. This a perfect example of how technology can have limitations within school library settings.

Thinglink effectively conveyed to students different ways to create a multimedia object that can include linked, embedded, or uploaded information. Additionally, the literary topic paralleled alongside these skills acted as a conduit to further expand students' critical thinking and hands-on technical skills at the same time, which is often a more effective form of learning.
Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe was the graphic novel our group selected for our book cover; however, the assignment required the students to come to class prepared with a screenshot of the cover of an award-winning book. From there, the school librarian group walked the students through navigating the technical aspects of thinglink while offering perspectives about the importance of award-winning literature and an analysis of the symbolism associated with the book cover.
Maia Kobabe’s book “Gender Queer,” about coming out as nonbinary, landed the author at the center of a battle over which books belong in sch
Gender Queer proved to be an excellent resource to spark analysis of symbolism and award-winning books with our target audience. However, I did not expect in-the-moment technical difficulties from our students. This oversight was quickly attended to during the virtual session; however, in the future, it would be wise to expect this and have a strategy to alleviate the stress technical difficulties caused. For example, in a collaborative group situation, it would be wise to assign the role of dealing with technical difficulties to a specific individual.
The discussion about symbolism revolved around the concepts of color and contrast. The goal of this dialogue was to guide students to an analysis of their chosen book and to spark an inspiration to interpret what the book cover "says" about the text inside, a critical skill for budding freshmen. A critical lesson component was engaging the students through dialogue, which sometimes felt like pulling teeth. Constantly engaging your students is a great tactic to avoid static moments that can lessen your authority as an expert. The following article, What a Book Cover Can Do, by Peter Mendelsund and David J. Alworth, was a great resource to build the conversation about symbolism in book covers.
As a physical component of the book, the cover is a skin, a membrane, and a safeguard: paper jackets protect hardback boards from scuffing a
This was the final outline for our instructional group project.
