Thing #6: Mashups


All mashups from Big Huge Labs were very impressive. They are sure to get students' attention immediately. The two that I enjoyed the most and can see myself using in the future are the trading card and the magazine cover. They both provide a unique way for users to give more creativity to their pictures. With the trading card, students can include vocabulary words, create personal profile cards, or create a card for someone else. With the magazine cover, users can add details to a picture by writing small phrases or sentences, or even questions. I can see how these tools would come in handy when teaching.
