For this ThinkLink, I used a picture of my dog and added links to pictures of other red-nose pit bulls and sites that talk about pit bulls. This definitely has a great educational value, and students could use it for history projects (like the Declaration of Independence example) and also in other subjects. One way to use ThingLink would be for reading. Students could start with a picture of the book cover and then add links to different book reviews, the wikipedia page, a movie trailer on YouTube (if the book was made into a movie), and then a picture of the main character. You could also do this as a biography/autobiography assignment. Students could upload pictures of themselves, and add tags with links to their personal blog, their favorite website, a picture of a landmark in a city they've visited, etc. Their projects could then be shown to the rest of the class. This would make a great beginning of the school year assignment. I think that ThingLink offers you a great opportunity to get creative with it's educational uses.
