Thing #8: Mashing

The application I've chosen in this exercise is Flickriver. Essentially, it's a web-based, alternative Flickr viewer that allows hundreds of photos to be looked at and researched quickly and easily. It offers a "seamless 'river of photos' view" - never needing to hit 'next' to load the next page. I can definitely see the constructive use of the program in my future history class. My students would use the simple search option to research visual subject matter based on tags and/or places, then easily navigating through the material in order to find what they need.
