What We’re Looking For 3

What I’m Looking For… Create Consume Remix Share

Edu-Blogger: • You. Tube Video: Have You Been Paying Attention? • “…Has anyone seen this garbage? Students don’t need to remix anything! Educators must teach them to be original, have original thought, and do original work! Imagine if society worked this way. • We’d still be hoping someone would invent the rolling stone so as to create a wheel. Imagine a world where using other people’s work to create your own was ok. • We’d never have gotten past the toaster to see the benefits of the microwave. We’d never have gotten past swing music to experience amazing original works like Elton John’s “The Lion King” or other seminal works…”
