I used the Mosaic Maker to create a photo collage of my hometown of Greenbrier, Tn.  I am a teacher and a coach at Greenbrier High School.  I have also lived there my how life besides three years that I lived in Nashville while attending Vanderbilt University.  I wanted my collage to represent me and the hometown I grew up in.  I wanted everyone to be able to get a small taste of my home.

Mashups could be used in my class by having students research different parts of science and coming up with photos that represent something we have learned in class.  The students could come up and present to the class their photos and what they mean to the subject we are learning.  Also I think that it would give a chance for my students to be creative and express their feelings about a subject.  I think this would be a better project than having students do a research paper, and also give the students a chance to have fun with class.

First of all I believe that educators should be held to a higher standard than most people.  The reason for saying this is because we are the best role models that some students have in their life.  When it comes to sharing photos teachers should think about that before sharing photos that could damage a student's views or standards they hold for their teachers.  Teachers should always be cautious and make sure every picture they share online is tasteful and does not contain inappropriate images.  I have no problem with teachers posting photos online, but I do have a problem with teachers posting inappropriate images.  Teachers should remember that someone is watching their life closely and might want to be just like them when they get older.
