Using Mashups to Teach IT Concepts at Bentley College

Interestingly I found this article about “Using Mashups to Teach IT Concepts at Bentley College” about first year college students using a Microsoft application to create mashups so they experience and better understand “business in a Web 2.0 world”. It was very easy to register and then I was off to create a mashup through a tutorial in 5 easy steps. Additionally there are mashups that have been created you can use. Think of all the creative mashups that will be available. I created a Books Photosphere . Really different, possibly students could create in this to demonstrate a book report or country report. Let it load and then use your curser to allow the books to rise up and float through the photosphere. Wow!!!! So many toys to play with, so little time!
