The Snowflake Effect: The Future of Mashups and Learning (Wayne Hodgins) 2009
In this article Wayne Hodgins explores the emerging area of web mashups and how they can be used for learning and teaching in new and innovative ways.
He gives many examples of use and then goes on to argue that the true power of mashups is in seeing them as a wider concept that can bring elements of customisation and personalisation to any number of different areas.
This development of mass customisation and unique solutions tailored to the needs of the individual are put forward as a way of achieving the personalisation of learning.

A thought provoking article. Hw have people used mahsups in the classroom? Is the focus on using existing mahsups to improve teaching or on learning through the creation of mashups?
