=**Remixing our world view: Using map mashing and other Web 2.0 technologies to study world cultures**= Michigan State University World Languages Day, April 2008 Scott Schopieray, Michigan State University

Map mashing and information remixing are two of the buzzwords associated with technology-enhanced learning. In this session we'll explore these concepts and discuss how they might be used to help us teach and think about world languages and cultures. Participants will learn about free tools available to create their own mashups and remixes for their classrooms.

Do you ever look at a map and wish you could “see” what a place looks like or note special things about it? This workshop explores a variety of tools, including Google Maps, that let you do exactly that. “Map-Mashing” lets you "find a world of information, such as buildings, pictures, data, and music, that others have placed on online in GoogleEarth or other map services. We’ll show you how to find and use maps others have created, and how to create these tools on your own.

=Mapmashing in the Classroom Workshop= MSU College of Education Technology Conference, February 2007


 * Scott Schopieray and Allison Keller, Michigan State University**

Map mashing allows teachers to combine information from a map with other relevant information into a web-based learning experience, which can create an engaging and motivating environment for students. This session will help participants think about the possibilities of map mashups from a teaching perspective, discuss the technical and support considerations for creating mashups, and begin to create their own map mashups for classroom use.
