Mashups Revisited

One of the mashups listed in this weeks session which I liked was Flickr Memari.

This mashup allowed you to "Create, customize, and send a memory matching game from your Flickr images".At first it just looked like a relaxing fun activity, kind of quirky and cute but then I thought of some other very useful reasons for creating this game. 

Instead of just using pictures from your flickr account you could also have tiles with

A. Maths equations 
e.g. 5X 8 with the answers e.g 40 needing to be found

B. Language translations 
e.g one (english) and satu (other languages - Indonesian translation) needing to be found

C. Combination of maths and language translations
e.g. maths equation -->  3 X 3  and answer --> novo (Italian translation)

These games could then be used as helpful learning tools by people trying to learn.
