BIG HUGE LABS is another free, fun, and educational web 2.0 site that makes puzzles, maps, pic cubes, mosaics and many other items from your digital pictures. Here is a link to a picture cube we made of the students in our Chatham tech class.
"Big Huge Labs" is a great site for artists or those aspiring artists. I would love to use many of the projects either with my class such as: a calendar, cube or trading card. I wish I had this technology when my own children were young!
There are alot of great ideas here that kids would love to create. The puzzles though are 250 pieces. I wish the they were available in a size more friendly to younger students.
I think I could see myself using the motivator, movie poster or magazine cover tools in an English class...the other items may not be very applicable or age-appropriate for high school. Some of the game tools may work.

I wonder how sad Tara is that she isn't part of our picture cube? I'm sure she'll get over it. :)
I've signed up for an account. There is so much here, some cool others not. Its a nice tool to have but I wouldn't use it that much (I think)
The map tool looks like it might be useful. I might use it to track the countries we studied in a unit or a year.
Magazine Cover or Hockneyizer could be the basis for student projects.
The dice tool could make interesting games.
The creative possibilities will be endless in the classroom, and I plan to make photo gifts with this site.
