Thing #8, Easy Flickr Mashups are not all easy

Sunset mashup, a photo by Shanna827 on Flickr.

This was made with Mosaic Maker (Big Huge Labs) using photos I had uploaded to Flickr. I linked the two accounts and was able to load this image onto Flickr when I was finished so i could easily add it to this blog. This site also has other Mashup ideas like making a digital or actual jigsaw puzzle out of any photo you upload or have on Flickr. 

Another Fun site was Spell with Flickr. On this site you can chose any word that you would like to be spelled out, the site uses images from Flickr to spell out any word. If you don't like the letter images you can click on whichever letter and change it before posting it or saving it to Flickr. This could be a fun site to use in a classroom to make Power Points more eye catching for the students. Some of the other apps were difficult to use; some were designed only for use with an iPhone or Mac computer and cost money to use. I still am apprehensive about using any of my personal photos on sites such as these because it is the internet and everything can be found even if made private. I would also have to explore Flickr and the applications that could be used with it to see how it could be implemented in a classroom setting.
