I do believe that Big Huge Labs could be added to the Webster's definition of addict(ing). I've spent more time than I anticipated on this beautiful, spring Saturday exploring and playing with all of the fun options on Big Huge Labs. With options like movie poster, magazine cover, motivator, map maker, just to name a few that stood out for me, students could respond to books they've read, share places they've visited, add details to projects and activities, make pictures and ideas their own... I feel like my head is swimming with ideas and I honestly cannot wrap my head around everything at the moment.
Talk about addiction, Meghan you are going to be thrilled when you get to Thing 14. I swear that beats all so far. I thought Big Huge Labs was the high point too when I got there, but lo and behold, it has been supplanted by another "Thing". I'm not going to spoil it for you and tell you what it is. You just have to hurry up and get there.
