Thing #8 -- Share Your Creations -- April 12, 2008

Thumbstacks looks promising, but it's not very encouraging when their own demo via Thumbstacks isn't working. Same problem with Zoho Show. I created a Slideshare account but wasn't able to browse for a PowerPoint to upload. Sigh. Maybe things are closed down on a Sunday morning.

I love Big Huge Lab because it always seems to work. I'll use the mosaic with creating a class portrait of students so I can learn their names easier. I'll also use it to show different areas in the library for library instruction sessions -- a little series for finding a book in the library, for instance. I think students would respond well to this. Our library is so large, that many students are overwhelmed with locating a book, so a graphic like a mosaic might be a big help. I'll take my camera to work tomorrow!

Here is the mosaic I made of of stone steps in England:



(image uploader not working again -- no way to browse for file and can't seem to get it of Flickr as all downloading aps are PC -- grrr -- not much to show for the last hour and a half!

I hate it when the technology doesn't work when you need it to work. No need to worry, I know you've used Big Labs...they are really fun, aren't they?

And, I have good news for you. Since you didn't get all the way through the 23 Things (I know we all get really busy sometimes!) we're offering this program again this summer! You can pick up right where you left off.

So, I hope you'll be able to use a few more of these tools and join us in the summer for this. The announcement about dates will be coming out soon!
