ThingLink

2. DISADVANTAGES of ThingLink

1. Limited free features

There is limited customization in Free version. There are limitations in terms of design elements, themes or branding.

2. Dependency on internet connection 

Since it is a cloud-based platform, it relies on a stable Internet connection. Users will not see changes on the platform if they have a poor connection. They also may face difficulties with editing their projects with poor connectivity. 

3. Access to technology

Using the ThingLink app requires access to a smartphone or tablet. Students who do not have access to these devices may be at a disadvantage.

4. Distruction

Mobile devices, including those used for ThingLink, can be sources of distractions. Students may be tempted to engage in non-educational activities, affecting their focus.
