Thing #6: Mashups

Hey all,
The Mashups are great. This stuff makes me want to teach social studies again, but I can see lots of possiblities with reading as well. The trading cards would be good biography assignments for the kids at the beginning of the year. The Movie posters would make good book report covers.
On Mappr, if the students were reading books that involved traveling or really well written settings, they could map out timelines of travels or use Flickr to get a better idea of what the setting looks like. All sorts of stuff. I'm excited.

Ah, yes - I can see you becoming the reigning campus king of MASHUPS. It is fun, isn't it?
