Thing 8

Ok well I deviated a little from the assignment. I stumbled upon a really neat mashup that was not list on the thing 8 site. I used iMapFlickr. This mashup is really easy to use if you have a flickr account. I uploaded a few pictures, tagged the location we were in when we took the pictures and saved them in a set. I went to iMapFlickr and imported the set from flickr and it created a zoomable map marking the locations and which pictures came from that location. I know I will be using this in my geography class! What a neat and free app. I think in geography it would be neat to search some photos from different areas and tag them so the kids can do a location/picture hunt :) It is a good hands-on and visual tool.
