I joined Big Huge Labs so that I could share this mosaic of my favorite autumn photos collected on Flickr. I enjoyed exploring Flickr Services and their open Application Programming Interface (API) which allows you to present your flickr photos in creative ways (like this mosaic).I first had to create an account with Big Huge Labs, which then asked me if I'd like to link it to my Flickr account. Once I agreed and uploaded this image to my Flickr account, I was able to post it to this blog.
I liked the lab's Trading Cards idea and their blog which gives folks the opportunity to post and share projects. Making trading cards of famous figures throughout Alaska's history would be a creative final project. I also liked the Badge Maker. One teacher at our school used this application to create Grammar licenses for each student in his class. As students mastered a grammar skill, a box on their Grammar badge was checked off. Very official-looking and motivating for kids!
Wow Lorrie....that collage is beautiful. Great job... too many fun things to do in BHLs. I really like the idea of using the badges that way (as grammar badges) I can see how that would really motivate some to get them marked off. I also like the mini Bio idea. I hadn't thought of that one....I've used that trading cards for mini book reviews and for personal bios but I like that idea a lot.
