Thing 6: Mashups


The sites I explored are cool! I tried the Magazine Cover and Mosaic tools in Big Huge Labs. The magazine cover I made for my wife is at the right. And then I made a booklet with Bookr. (Did you notice that Bookr originates in Barcelona, Spain?)

I can see all kinds of applications for these tools, mainly outreach and PR in the library. Bookr could be used in the classroom or library, especially the lower grades, to cooperatively and write a book on a particular topic. Here is one about insects by Alejandra Farias.

Personally, I can see them becoming dangerously addictive. It is so easy to spend hours with these things. For example, this morning.
