Thing #6

Mash-ups, not music but of the web variety, are hybrid web applications that take features from one application and mashed up with another. The 3rd party site that I am reviewing is are hybrid web applications that take features from one application and mash it up with another. The mash up website that I absolutely love is Five Card Story, http://web.nmc.org/5cardstory/index.php
Here's the website in a nutshell. Flickr gives you five random pictures, of those five you pick one. Repeat the process four more times. When you have your five pictures chosen you then connect the pictures by writing a short story. An exercise like this could do wonders for students and ability to improve their imagination.
