SALT Seminar, Wednesday, March 9, 2011
Below please find SALT 2 content. I would like to point out the unbelievable coolness of map mashups. Please consider taking a look at those links. The next SALT is Tuesday, March 29 and Jon Ernstberger will be speaking about his classroom use of an ipad, twitter and youtube. Please join us to support Jon.

Mashups:
*presented to show technology that can create connections among facts or across disciplines in a visual form
What is a mashup?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashup_(web_application_hybrid)

Video or audio mashups

How to create a video mashup from Bucks County Community College: http://www.bucks.edu/mashup/creating_mashup.php
Student work examples: http://www.bucks.edu/mashup/entries.php

Map mashups: data or information stream is mashed with a map (in many cases, google maps)

Popular: Housingmaps: mashup of craigslist housing ads and google maps http://www.housingmaps.com/
Current: Libyan protest twitter feed mashup with google maps: http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/02/google-maps-libyan-protests/
Educational application: interactive electoral map mashup http://www.mapmash.in/election_map.html

Voicethread software:
*presented to show alternative ways to achieve student engagement, particularly in a hybrid environment

What is a voicethread anyway?
