Wow, there were a lot of things to mess around with in this "Thing"- you could definitely lose track of time just looking at all the possibilities. I think a few of my favorites were the spell with flickr and the color picker tools. I ended up using the spelling tool for the blog I started for my classes (yes I started one last week!) and my students thought it was really cool. I liked the Big Huge Labs site very much because it was easier to navigate than the image generator site, and linking it to my flickr site made it even more simple. Here's the link to the mosaic maker I used to make a mosaic of one of my sewing projects from last summer. I'm still trying to determine how to apply these tools with my chemistry classes; haven't quite figured that out yet but they were definitely really interesting to play with and I'm pretty sure I'll be returning to do more of that in the near future.

Congrats on starting a classroom blog!
ReplyDeleteI love that big huge labs as well. That is so cool that you've begun a blog with your students already, must be highschool. I think that some of these items learned will be more usefull in elementary and others in highschool. Good luck with integrating!!!
