ThingLink

3rd grade Health Standard 7: Consumer and Community Health- Objective 3 
Summarize the role of health services in the community.

• List various health services. 

• Define the role of each service. 

• Identify situations in which the health services can or should be accessed. 

 Ed Tech Standard 6: Use telecommunications efficiently and effectively to access remote information and communicate with others in support of direct and independent learning and for pursuit of personal interests.

ISTE- Knowledge Constructor- Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others.

I created a Thinglink about Healthcare Professionals to kickstart a discussion about Healthcare and how it works in our community. This is a good way to start a discussion and get the students thinking about different healthcare jobs and how they effect our community.  I think it is important for children to know about the different healthcare professionals we have in our community and how they can help.  I would consider using this in my classroom but I also think there are better programs that I have learned about this semester that I would use before using ThingLink, I think some of the other programs I have tried out and learned with are more effective and interactive than this one.
