Thing #8 Mashups

Brittany Lowen Mashup, a photo by lowenbritany on Flickr.

I created a mashup of books that students can read and posters to encourage them to read. I can use Flickr mashups in my classroom to upload encouraging posters and signs that students can view that will keep them encouraged and motivated to learn. I can also use it to upload models and examples of the lesson I am teaching so students will better understand it and can also see how it can apply to their own life. I think it's good to share photos online so other people can view them and use them. I think it's good also because other people can get ideas from them. For example, a teacher can upload a photo of a poster they have in their classroom that encourages students. Other teachers can view this poster and may decide that they want to put this poster in their classroom too or give them ideas for posters they want to put in their classrooms.
