00:00 - 00:59: Webinar start and introduction
This webinar will feature a variety of educators from around the world sharing their immersive storytelling and learning methods using ThingLink and Book Creator. The presenter will welcome the participants and briefly explain the purpose and expected outcomes of this session. In particular, the webinar will focus on how ThingLink and Book Creator work together and how they can be utilized in educational settings.
01:00 - 02:39: Webinar Participants Introduction
The webinar features educators from a variety of countries. Participants from Germany, France, Italy, and Morocco are using the chat function to ask questions and share their thoughts. The webinar also features keynote speakers David, a community manager at Book Creator, and Christopher, a digital learning expert from Denmark, who will explain in detail the features and use cases of ThingLink and Book Creator, respectively.
02:40 - 03:46: ThingLink meets Book Creator
The central theme of this webinar was the combination of ThingLink and Book Creator. The presenters explained how these two tools can be used together. For example, adding 360-degree images and interactive elements from ThingLink to a digital book created in Book Creator can enrich the learning experience. This combination can greatly help create a more immersive and engaging learning environment for students.
03:47 - 05:21: Introducing ThingLink
ThingLink is a tool that provides immersive learning experiences through 360-degree images, videos, and interactive images. Users can enrich their learning materials by adding various tags and links. One of ThingLink’s key features is its AI-based image generation feature. This feature allows users to create 360-degree images based on prompts they provide. This allows students to create their own creative environments and use them as learning materials.
05:22 - 06:27: Introducing Book Creator
Book Creator is a tool that allows you to easily create digital content in various formats, including text, images, audio, and video. This tool is very useful for students to express their ideas and create creative content. In particular, it is easy to access for students who speak different languages, thanks to its multilingual support and automatic translation function. Book Creator also provides a function to collect students' work and manage it as a portfolio, helping to track and evaluate students' learning progress.
06:28 - 07:47: A Case Study of Combining ThingLink and Book Creator
Christopher demonstrated how ThingLink and Book Creator work together using a real-world educational case from Denmark. He showed how students create their own creative 360-degree images and integrate them into Book Creator to create an immersive learning experience. This process is a great way to help students develop their ideas and develop their ability to express them using digital tools.
ThingLink’s AI-powered 360-degree image generation feature allows students to create creative environments through a variety of prompts. For example, students can input a specific topic, see an AI-generated image, and iteratively modify it to complete the final image. This process greatly helps students unleash their creativity using digital tools.
09:07 - 10:16: Immersive Storytelling Project
Christopher introduced an immersive storytelling project he worked on with third graders. The project involved students creating their own stories and then digitizing them using ThingLink and Book Creator. The main steps of the project were:
1.
Developing analog ideas : Students first draw or write their ideas on paper. This allows them to have a clear plan before working digitally.
2.
Using Digital Tools : Students create 360-degree images using ThingLink. Leverage ThingLink’s AI-powered 360-degree image creation capabilities to create creative environments.
3.
Book Creator Integration : The generated 360-degree images are integrated into Book Creator. Students use Book Creator to insert ThingLink images into each page of their book, and add additional text and multimedia elements.
4.
Use Guided Mode : Use ThingLink's Guided Mode to guide users through a set path of learning. This helps users systematically understand the learning content.
10:17 - 12:13: ThingLink and Book Creator Features Explained
ThingLink and Book Creator each offer unique features, and they can be combined to create even more powerful learning tools. ThingLink enriches learning materials with 360-degree images and videos, interactive tags, guided mode, and AI-based image generation. Book Creator, on the other hand, helps students easily create digital content with features such as multimedia integration, automatic translation, portfolio function, and template provision.
12:14 - 13:46: Utilization Cases in Education
The combination of ThingLink and Book Creator can be useful in a variety of educational settings. For example, on a geography study trip, students can take 360-degree images of the places they visit and upload them to ThingLink to create interactive learning materials. Then, they can use Book Creator to create a book of their experiences, including ThingLink images to create a more immersive learning experience.
It can also be used effectively in language learning. Students can write stories in their own language in Book Creator and add related images through ThingLink to create visual and interactive language learning materials. This process greatly helps students increase their comprehension and motivate them to learn.
13:47 - 15:21: Introduction to Pano to 360 features
We are introducing a new feature in ThingLink called Pano to 360. This feature helps students easily create 360-degree photos using their smartphones or tablets. Students can take photos of their surroundings and upload them to ThingLink to convert them into 360-degree images. This allows students to use the images they have taken themselves for their lab or research projects as learning materials.
15:22 - 16:50: ISTE Conference and Community Engagement
ThingLink and Book Creator will be featured more at educational technology conferences such as ISTE. ISTE is a large-scale educational technology expo held in Denver, USA, where educators from around the world gather to share the latest educational technologies. The Book Creator team and ThingLink team will be engaging directly with attendees through various sessions and workshops at ISTE.
In addition, ThingLink and Book Creator each run their own communities to help users share their experiences and get new ideas. After the webinar, they provide participants with relevant resources and certificates to help them apply what they learned in the webinar to real-world educational settings.
16:51 - 18:07: Webinar Ending and Thank You Remarks
At the end of the webinar, the presenters thanked the participants and provided information on how to contact them if they had any additional questions or feedback. They also provided additional materials and resources related to the content covered in the webinar to help participants effectively use ThingLink and Book Creator in their educational settings.
Conclusion
ThingLink and Book Creator are powerful tools for creating creative and effective learning experiences in the classroom. When combined, these two tools help students develop their ideas and develop the ability to express them using a variety of digital tools. Immersive storytelling projects help students actively engage in their learning and take charge of their own learning process.
It helps.
Therefore, immersive learning using ThingLink and Book Creator will become one of the important directions of future education. Use these tools to provide students with a richer and more meaningful learning experience.
