For my Flickr Mashup, I used Mosaic Maker to make a compilation of pictures of Europe that I found on Flickr.  It was so simple to use, all I had to do was find a picture set from a photographer and use the html link provided by Flickr for the photo set in Mosaic Maker.  I chose pictures from Europe because my husband and I will be traveling there this summer and they get me excited about the kinds of things we will see while we are over there.

Using Flickr Mashups could be incredibly useful in the classroom.  One idea that came to mind was to use Mosaic Maker to create a compilation of student work at the end of the year.  By taking pictures of projects or students working (although the details of this might have to be fine tuned) a teacher could create a compilation of students' work in the classroom over the course of the year for students to look at.  It would be a great testament to how much they accomplished over a year and can help them realize just how much they actually learned!  I would also love to use these Mashups personally.  I enjoy online photosharing, within moderation of course, and would love to use these tools to create unique photos and works of art for my own home.  Such an easy and simple way to make something so neat and complex!

    Bailey, I have seen many great ideas while browsing through the blogs. I have said it before, and I will say it again. I love your idea to compile some of the students' works at the end of the year! That is a very creative way to use Flikr for an educational purpose. It might also be fun to make a collage using Mosaic Mashups of your students doing various activities in the classroom throughout the year.
