choosing another mash up adventure

http://www.programmableweb.com/mashup/alphalearnr

I picked this mash up because I like butterflies but the whole alphabet concept is an interesting one. This could be a mash on a computer in the children's section of the library showing different things for different letters of the alphabet-a learning tool so to speak. each letter has real photos of things rather than just drawings. I am a big believer in young children being exposed to real photos of objects rather than just drawings or sketches. The mash up itself states that it is set up for children to learn the alphabet in english using pictures.

Another good use for a mashup in the library is for display as a screen saver in the public access area. Libraries could have a mashup of the people at an opening exhibition etc or at a special function such as harmony day that has been held or alternatively use it to advertise what is coming up next.
