Thing #8


I think that students would enjoy utilizing some of the Flickr mashups for various learning activities because they are very visually interesting and relatively simple to use.  I really like the apps that involve mapping and geography.  The ability to easily insert a picture that serves as a graphic representation of a certain geographic area is a great learning tool.  I found that in order to utilize these tools more easily or at all for that matter, you really do need to set up an actual Flickr account.  I have mine set up now and will be using it both professionally and personally from here on out.  Thing 8 has served as another booster rocket propelling me out into the information highway. 

                After creating my Flickr account, I utilized the Jigsaw mashup by Big Huge Labs to create a jigsaw puzzle of a skyline shot of Las Vegas.
