  This discussion deals with examples of existing mashups that support formal learning scenarios, e.g., class learning at school. Fictive mashup examples are also welcome.
  
  In my opinion, by far the most educational mashups belong to this category. As you can clearly see on programmableweb.com, the most mashups are mapping mashups...the same is true for educational mashups. I see good potential to support class learning, e.g., history or geography lessons. It is more fun for the pupil to build a steadily growing map during the school year. For example, the pupils could playfully add historical events (by wikipedia snippets, flickr pictures, youtube videos, learning objects(?), etc.) collaboratively within the class or as homework.
