I’ve been using Web 2.0 tools for what seems like forever and I’m just learning about a very cool tool! That’s what’s so exciting about Web 2.0 — new things to learn all the time…
BigHugeLabs is one of the coolest photo enhancing sites I’ve seen in a while. At first glance, I see so many opportunities for education. We do so many project with images in education and using a tool such as this, that you don’t have to log into, you can just use, then save your work, is a teachers dream tool.
Lately, I’ve been using VoiceThread quite a bit with students. Sometimes, students want to gather multiple pictures together in a collage format before uploading them to VoiceThread. BigHugeLabs is a perfect place to do this in a creative, nice-looking way, instead of plain old PowerPoint, which is always their default application. There’s a link on the homepage called Mosaic Maker. You upload all of the pcitres you want to make a collage out of and it makes a nice collage that you then take a screen shot of and save to your computer to use anywhere.
Check out BigHugeLabs and all the tools available on the site. It looks very promising. I wonder what other uses for education I’ll find as I explore the site more…
