Thing 8

Okay, this was more fun than I have had in a long time on a Saturday evening. Talk about being caught in a time-free zone. I can see huge possibilities with the "motivator" maker http://bighugelabs.com/motivator.php as well as the
captioner and poster maker on Big Huge Labs. (Ok, now that's frustrating, the link insert button does not want to cooperate and insert the link so I just copied and pasted link and it's not coming up as a hyperlink. I don't know what I am doing incorrectly but if anyone out there has advice please HELP)
Those applications, however, were very easy to use. I could use them to make posters of scientists for the month's theme (Black History, Women's History, etc). I am very psyched about this, since I am disappointed in the offerings from the local teachers' store. Students can create probably more interesting things than I can. So they would even be more geeked. What a way to illustrate vocabulary words! The memory game was addictive on the Flickr memory However, at this moment, I am frustrated since the link button is not posting the links as I have copied and pasted. I was frustrated with the Image Generator since for me, at any rate some of the applications were difficult to use and not intuitive. I sure could have used one of those wonderful tutorials like we had on how to use blogger, etc. Trading Cards Maker was a disappointment to me since that application would have been the most useful but I could not get it to work satisfactorily and I had to learn by trial n error that I needed to become a member to make it work at all. Plus, there were no directions if one wanted to center the person's name (I just hit the space bar until I thought it was centered. Again, a tutorial video would have been most helpful.
