As with everything else we have talked about so far, there are definite benefits and risks to using mashups for educational purposes...
Some of the risks include copyright issues, reliability and validity, licensing issues, plaigerism, false representation of original materials, and inappropriate use of materials.
Some of the benefits include using multiple sources of data, encouraging creativity, helping to better explain a topic or concept, appealing to different learning styles, and finding new ways to present overlooked data.
It seems that there would be an appropriate time and reason for using this tool, as long as it was done responsibly and appropriately.
