Mashups

=**Mashups**=

Thomas and Brown (2011) stated that “when we build, we do more than create content. Thanks to new technologies, we also create context by building within a particular environment, often providing links or creating connections and juxtapositions to give meaning to the content” (p. 1315). In addition, "new media tools let users restructure context in a way that allows content to remain stable but with a change of meaning” (p. 1315 – 1334).

Please take a look at the links below and post your thoughts on the following questions:

1. How could we apply the idea of restructuring context in our classrooms and to what end? Linking and integrating context from various personal perspectives Personal context can be affected by gaining information from different sources (//prouser// instead of producer) 2. What learning outcomes might we be able to address? Understanding perspective What is the intention and quality of the mashup? 3. How might this meet the needs of 21st century learners? Learning is a "mashup" of information from various sources Teaching is also a mashup gathering information from various sources to teach
