Thing 5: mashups

I've gotten somewhat bogged down in Flickr-I have to consciously think about how to get what's on Flickr onto the blog correctly.  I did like the Big Huge Labs site though- everything in one place.  I can see using the map for example to show where students are from for example.  I think without careful instructions though, Flickr & Big Huge Labs would be a little difficult for a whole class to use.  Teachers though could use it very creatively.  In a virtual world where most error messages consist of "Error 401" or Sorry, can't do that, Splashr's gentle, humorous messages stand out; "You need to enter some tags, a user id or a photoset id.  I can't find anything without some parameters.  Mmmm, parameters."  ;-)

Flickr

Flickr: This is one I used last year, and the pictures I put up there were still there.  So I added some more.  At the moment, this is the family/personal side of my life, mostly since I'm using our Mac at home and that's what's stored on it-about 4800 pictures either scanned in from family albums  or taken digitally.
