Knowledge Check: Filos is trying to create an interactive ThingLink map. She is sorting her images by "Labelled for Reuse." Why is this important? Images labelled for reuse have the artist's permission to let you use them! Images without the "reuse" label will disappear after a given amount of time. You should use whatever images you want. It's not like you're stealing someone else's work, right? 5. Create your own ThingLink Map. It's your turn to be creative. Use ThingLink to design a map of "Aqua World." You get to decide what this planet looks like, and what kind of information to include!Your experience should include:-A cool map as the background image-At least four interactive tags, including text, images, audio, or video.-Information about Aqua World, such as: major cities, the language, cuisine, activities, famous places.
