I explored the Flickr options provided for us to look at such as, Flickr Color Pickr and Montagr. I find Flickr really neat because it brings people from all over the world together through the use of photographs. Mashups are so interesting because they pull random photographs from Flickr and create slideshows, mosaics, and more. It really is a social network through photographs. I ended up choosing to use the Trading Card Maker. My trading card is a photograph of one of the most amazing moments of my life...my engagement. I love that I could commemorate this moment with a unique trading card! I am excited to spend more time discovering more Mashup ideas on Flickr. I think it would be a fun opportunity for students to use in the classroom as well. Therefore, I will be looking for more ideas that are geared towards education.

I really like the trading card you created! I didnt spend much time looking at the Trading Card Maker but it looks like a really good idea that can be used in the classroom.
