Introducing THPlink.TV by Tree House Press – an easy, safe, and completely free way to integrate technology and media studies into your classroom literacy programs.

THPlink.TV is a fun, safe, and easy way to integrate technology and media studies into your inquiry-based literacy program … for free!

What is THPlink.TV?

THPlink.TV is a safe, multi-media streaming website we’ve created to enhance the units in our reading and writing student books. Don’t worry, we’ve kept it simple: there is no added cost and no login information is required. Simply type THPlink.TV into any web browser. Once there, enter the THPlink Number from the student book. That’s it -- fast and easy!

For more convenient access, scan the QR code in the student book with any smart phone or tablet to instantly open the correct THPlink number (students really enjoy getting to use technology this way). Once the student has accessed the correct THPlink, they can follow along at their own pace. They can pause, rewind, and replay as often as they like. They can even connect from home – a great way to get a parent involved!

We realize not every classroom has an Internet connection, that’s why we’ve also included an alternate version of each multi-media presentation that can be downloaded off-site, then brought into a non-connected classroom. We’ve also added activities to each THPlink to extend the student’s online learning.

Our student books, enhanced by THPlink.TV, can significantly deepen student understanding. Possible instructional strategies include:

• Students listen to and view the THPlink independently or on the classroom white board, THEN read the selection in their personal student book.
• Another strategy is to have students listen to the THPlink AND follow along by reading the text in the personal student book.
• And in yet another strategy, once the inquiry-based response activities are completed, students listen to, and view the THPlink a second time to CHECK or enhance their responses.
