Abstract
This study investigated the effectiveness of ThingLink, a digital storytelling tool, in enhancing the geography skills of eighth-grade students. Existing research has shown that students of various grade levels and abilities often encounter challenges in comprehending geography concepts. The primary goal of this research was to determine whether ThingLink can serve as a valuable resource for improving geography education in the classroom. Employing a mixed-methods action research approach, this study utilized pre- and post-tests, questionnaires, and students' written reflections to assess the impact of ThingLink on eighth-grade geography skills. The findings suggest a significant enhancement in geography content knowledge and a positive impact on students' perceptions of ThingLink's effectiveness in improving their geography skills. The results of this study can contribute to the understanding of the potential benefits of ThingLink in geography education.
