Introducing Claudia

I am an enthusiastic EFL teacher, Google Trainer, Coach, and co-Leader of the GEG community in Italy. I am also Ambassador of amazing Ed-Tech Apps that create competences, while having fun! As a Regional Digital Curriculum Integrator and K12 teacher trainer, I am passionate about combining learning by doing with digital curriculum to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences. I love integrating technology into teaching, fostering digital intercultural communication, and helping educators bring innovation into their classrooms. Always striving to be creative, I explore new ways to make learning interactive, fun, and impactful.

Claudia’s ThingLink Project

I chose this project, Interactive Literature, to show that literature can be studied in an immersive and playful way by taking 19th-century classics and making them both immersive and inclusive. Immersive language has a much stronger impact than simply relying on the written text. Within these augmented reality examples, I have included interactive quizzes, chatbots that students can engage with, and key summaries. This approach creates a cross-disciplinary study experience with an added twist—an extra layer of engagement that appeals to all types of intelligences.

How was this project delivered and were there any other spin offs as a result of your project?

This Interactive Literature project in ThingLink was used in two teacher training workshops to showcase how literature can be explored in an immersive and engaging way. Teachers were fascinated by the combination of augmented reality and key summaries, which allowed students to engage with texts in a dynamic way. As a follow-up, many participants asked me to create a chatbot about Coraline, seeing its potential for making literature more interactive and appealing to students.

Another of Claudia’s Favourite Projects..

I created this interactive image about Coraline because I wanted to make literature more immersive and engaging. I aimed to tranform the novel into an inclusive multisensory experience that appeals to different types of learners. This way, everyone can connect with Coraline on a deeper level, exploring its themes, characters, and atmosphere in a way that goes beyond the pages of the book.

What do you love about using ThingLink?

I love using ThingLink because it transforms learning into an interactive and immersive experience. With its visual storytelling tools, I can turn static content into engaging, clickable environments that encourage exploration and discovery. What I appreciate most is its versatility—I can integrate 360° images, augmented reality, videos, audio, interactive quizzes, and even chatbots, making any topic more dynamic and accessible. It’s a great tool for engaging all types of learners, as it provides a multisensory approach that goes beyond traditional methods. Plus, ThingLink makes it easy to create cross-disciplinary connections, whether in education, training, or professional development. It allows users to experience and interact with content in a way that is more engaging, memorable, and effective!
