Thing #6

How much fun can one person have playing with their pictures? If you go to Big Huge Labs http://bighugelabs.com/ you will have more fun than should be allowed. :) You can take several pictures and upload and it will create a mosaic with the pictures (up to 36 wahoooooooo!) or you can create a trading card with your own pictures. There are so many posibilities, it is endless. You can have students look up vocabulary words and find images that "fit" the definition and then write the definition under the picture. Students could exchange cards with one another as they review the vocabulary. Another idea is students could use the cards as mini book reports. Download an image of the book read and then students could write their report on the card, using various icons to symbolize the various genres. They could even trade with friends to let them know what "they have gotta read". PreK and Kinder teachers could use students' pictures and create trading cards of each student and use them for daily attendance or centers assignment by placing them in pocket charts. Oh the possibilities are endless!
