Thing #6: Mashups and 3rd Party Sites

It has taken me a while to get to the mashups activity because I have been busy helping my daughter find a place to live when she starts school. Now I discover that by researching real estate on sites that show addresses, pictures, and locations, I have been using a mashup. These are very useful applications.

The flickr color picker flower application was fun. The Big Huge Labs custom jigsaw application is potentially much more useful for my classes. If I can find the right images, avoiding copyright violations, I can have anatomy review activities created. This would be much more fun than just another review worksheet.
