Thing 19: Mashups

I couldn't have guessed what a mashup was before reading this assignment.  It is not anything that I have ever seen or heard about in the past.

I looked at the librarian trading cards and I guess I don't understand the purpose?  Is it just to make one?  I have done trading cards with students in the past.  We have created them for book characters using ReadWriteThink.org because it is very simple for students of all ages to use.

I did like the tool that allowed you to link photos with maps.  I know that Google Earth allows that
and it makes it very easy for me to show my students a map of Washington, D.C. and then immediately show them user photos from the area we are looking at.

I think that Flickr is good for a library as far as research because of the Creative Commons section of photos.  This would make it easy in incorporate images into projects and not have to worry about copyright issues.
