Web 2.0 - Big Huge Labs

Another Web 2.0 tool that was in my presentation.

1. Click the link to go to Big Huge Labs
   
   
2. Select an option from the menu. I usually use the Magazine Cover and Trading Card options with the students.

Trading Cards

1. Select a photo to use.
   
   
2. Select your positioning for your photo and background for your trading card.
   
   
3. Add a Title, sub title (if desired), and text based on facts collected.
   
   
4. Click Create to generate your Trading Card.
   
   
5. Once your trading card has been created you can save it as a picture file (jpeg) and add it to a PowerPoint, Animoto, Word document, or other display format.

Magazine Covers

1. Select a photo to use.
   
   
2. Select Colors, Titles, Taglines, Publication Date, Font, and Price (all options are optional)
   
   
3. Based on the information you would like to display on your magazine cover you can use the text lines to put important facts in as article titles. Students can be creative to pick interesting words to highlight topic points.
   
   
4. Click Create to generate your Magazine Cover.
   
   
5. Use the edit button to make changes. Students may have to adjust the text several times during the process to make sure all of their text appears. Sometimes it is easier to break text over multiple lines.
   
   
6. Once your magazine cover has been created you can save it as a picture file (jpeg) and add it to a PowerPoint, Animoto, Word document, or other display format.
