Thing #6 Mashups and 3rd party sites

I love the beautiful bright colors from Flickr. I see them being used to teach texture. I have spend time using magazine pictures to teach texture and boy this is a lot easier, faster and fun.
I can see how mashups could really work helping students understand more about geography and understanding facts about a particular region or state. An example would be putting the symbols on the states, adding economic facts, weather info, etc.
I have spend some time with mosaic maker, calendar maker and trading cards. I like the calendar the most and want to do something with that one in the future.
