Thinklink (www.thinglink.com/featured)
In this module I created a Thinglink image to embed in my blog. Thinglink enables you to create interactive images for use on the web that can be shared on social media, used for advertising or for educational purposes. It enables you to tag certain parts of the image with a popup window that presents the user with a website link, video or text box for further information.
Thinglink can be especially useful in teaching. The Thinklink I created below is an example of how it can be used to teach learners about computer hardware.

3. Click on the image and in the left panel that appears give the image a name or paste a website address
