Big Huge Labs

Big Huge Labs is a tool that allows one to create many projects. I navigated my way around this site to see everything it had to offer, which was a lot. The most interesting thing that I found and played around with was creating a jigsaw puzzle. I inserted that same picture of the starfish that I used in my blog to talk about Flickr. As I stated before, Flickr can be used to find photos to go along with a lesson. The jigsaw application at Big Huge Labs could be used as an extension activity. It would be a fun activity that would incorporate the photos from the unit being studied. If one were teaching a lesson on the different types of frogs, they could design puzzles that incorporated the different types and have students identify the name of each frog after completing the puzzle. It is educational and fun at the same time. This is just one way to use this application in the classroom but there are many more.
