Thing # 8

My creation, a photo by MBullock14 on Flickr.

I chose to share a creation from a mashup called Jigsaw. It does what it looks like it does-- just takes a photo and turns it in a kind of faux-jigsaw. I would be more apt to use this mashup if it actually created jigsaw puzzles. I can see a wide use of jigsaw puzzles in an educational setting. And to be honest, in my personal life, as well. I'd totally give my friends jigsaw puzzles of the most random stuff. 


I can see how a lot of Flickr mashups could be useful in the school setting, especially those that link to a specific place, like the ones that... well, hold on. I had previously mentioned how links offered from APSU's 23 thing were old. Here's an example. I went to explore Mappr because it sounded pretty interesting and really useful in a school setting. As of 2007 (2 years before the publication of the APSU 23 post) Mappr  is no longer processing images from Flickr. It in fact linked you back to Flickr (to here). 


Either way, the idea of connecting pictures to physical places is a great idea, and one I can see as being very beneficial. 


As far posting pictures online, I can see the usefulness of it, but I am very, very wary about posting any pictures outside of Facebook. Things have a habit of living on forever.
