Mashups are an interesting combination of websites used to create a new site. The potential to create your own site using mashups is limited only by your imagination. Flickr seems to be the primary site used to develop mashups.
I found the fd's Flickr Toys (aka Big Huge Labs) to be very appealing. Users can create all types of pictured items using the many links provided on the home page. Examples include making your own magazine cover (just find a picture and add a caption), making a jigsaw puzzle, or even trading cards.
Many of these links encourage creative writing, which is a necessary component of learning.

I love BigHuge Labs and so did the bloggers - so many fun things to play with. Made the writing process so much less painful.
ReplyDeletedo you have a sample you could include on your blog to share with all of us?
