Week 3- Thing 6

I just spent some time exploring the suggested mashups. It is amazing the variety of new applications that crop up once an application like flickr comes our way! I can see where many of these could provide exciting opportunities for creative teachers working with librarians to use technology in the classroom. Students could do research on the United States and create their own maps, trading cards could be used in with a large cross section of the students we see from those in special ed. to the gifted student. It's rather exciting to experience what is out there and begin to think of ways that this new interactive community can contribute to our mission.
