Thing #6 - Mashups and 3rd Party Sites

It amazes me how much time people must spend on the computer to discover, create, and play with all these cool tools! I found several that could have useful applications as a teacher/librarian. For example, the Mappr would be great for geography projects (research a country and then find photos of famous landmarks on Flickr to paste on the map). I think the Trading Card Maker could be used to create "advertisements" for books (include a picture of the book cover and bullets on the card to provide information about the characters/setting/plot/student reviews, etc.). I can't wait to get started!
