Overview

Introduction

The term mashup comes from the practice in music of combining parts of two or more songs to form a new song. 

In technology, a mashup has come to refer to "a web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool; an example is the use of cartographic data from Google Maps to add location information to real-estate data from Craigslist, thereby creating a new and distinct web service that was not originally provided by either source." (Wikipedia, 1:53 pm, April 24, 2008).

This site explores how mashups can be used in education.
