Mashpedia – educational real time encyclopedia

Mashpedia is another real time encyclopedia. It provides its users with information and content pulled from different sites. All it takes is entering a topic title to instantly get digital contents from several websites including : Wikipedia, Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Books, Newspapers, and Magazines.
Mashpedia resembles Zoombo in that they both fetch their results from social websites. I really like these kinds of encyclopedias for they save you so much time you have lost if you were looking for information in each site separately.





Some features of Mashpedia

Here is a list of the main features that Mashpedia offers to its users:
  • It is free to use

  • It is simple and easy

  • It renders search results instant and quick

  • It lets you discover new, relevant content about your favorite topics and interests

  • Mashpedia topics include : New Madia, Cloud Computing, iPhone, History ,a dn many more

  • It allows you to get a multi-perspective vision and real-time context for every topic


I invite ll educators to give Mashpedia a try and see by themselves. I strongly think that Mashpedia can be very beneficial for both students and teachers. I also invite you to try the other search tools or encyclopedias i have already talked about namely : Zoombo  and Qwiki.
