Introducing Lara Rollo
Welcome! I’m Lara Rollo. I’m a primary school teacher with a great passion for STEAM. I do many things as a trainer but my true love is for Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. I’m happy and proud to be part of the wonderful ThingLink family.
Lara’s ThingLink Project
An example made very quickly during a live demonstration to show the simplicity of creating! It was created during a sample exercise for a training course for INDIRE at the Didacta Fair in Florence 2025. The students were enthusiastic about the great potential of AI integration in ThingLink. This project was born from my passion for astronomy. I have followed many in-depth courses on this topic and ThingLink is a fantastic tool to support my lessons as a teacher and trainer.
What do you plan on creating next?
During the course “Girls Code It Better” with the girls we created an interactive path with 360° images of the civic archaeological museum of our city. Soon I will design storytelling projects with ThingLink.
What do you love about ThingLink?
I have been using ThingLink for many years. Today It has so many useful and innovative tools but I will never stop thanking it for having allowed my institute to create a fantastic interactive path of my school that we used for the Open Day during the bad period of lockdown.
