‘HOW TO CREATE HIGHLY ENGAGING CONTENT<\/p>\n

Have you ever created a digital resource and felt that it was somewhat uninspiring?<\/p>\n

It is easily done. We have all experienced \u201cdeath by PowerPoint\u201d.<\/p>\n

ThingLink is a fabulous (and free) platform created by a Microsoft Gold Partner team which can be used to create highly engaging virtual classrooms, tours and even escape rooms.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n

Example of primary one homework focusing on rhyme:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Our school’s Senior Leadership Team comprising of Sheona Allen (HT), Lorraine Donnelly (DHT) and Elaine Gardiner (DHT) have been successfully using ThingLink to create weekly virtual assemblies:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

One of the most engaging aspects of ThingLink is the ability to create escape rooms. I recently finished developing an escape room for our primary two pupils focusing on internet safety when playing online games. Try it out for yourself:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
