Famous Structures of the World-Thinglinks

Mrs. Abell's 4th grade students have been studying interesting and famous structures of the world as part of their architecture unit.

---

After brainstorming all of the structures they knew about, and using books to explore them, each student chose a structure to learn more about and to teach the class.

---

Using a research organizer, and the safe search sites on our school Student Resources Page, students researched the buildings of their choice

---

Inspired by Sherrie Johnson, a fellow teacher at a neighboring school, Mrs. Abell decided to use Thinglink as the tool for her students to collect and share their findings.

---

She set up a class with student accounts and together we did a quick overview of how Thinglinks are built, and they were off and running.

---

Many students wanted to include videos into their Thinglink.
After they located them in their safe search engines, and opened them in YouTube, I taught them how to open them in Safeshare.tv and use that link in their Thinglink. This provides a clean interface with no ads, related videos, or comments.

---

Students really dove into their research and enjoyed adding links to their Thinglink that captured the essence of each structure.
