Mashup Reflection

This mashup allowed me to use my creative ability in a way I would have never of imagined.  This program is kind of like using Prezi.  They have very similar characteristics.  The formatting of the program was a little annoying.  I had to keep scrolling in order to see what was all on the page, whereas Prezi you can zoom in and out of the presentation.  The advantages of using mashup versus a written story is that you can add much more detail.  I feel that you learn better as a student when you can see something visually and incorporate text into whatever your talking about.  The only disadvantages of the mashup is that it seems like it would be hard to present to a class.  Not much fluid motion going on with the program. I think Datamasher is a helpful way to put different variables together, and see what the results might be.  It would be very useful in a Political Science class.
