Remixing is everywhere. It can be seen on something like a remix or mashup of songs, such as DJ Earworm’s “United State of Pop 2014 (Do What You Wanna Do) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjYWwZYLYEs Remix is basically what you think of when a DJ or producer mixes a song. Like DJ Earworm, he created a mashup (combination of two or more songs to create something new and distinct from the original) of 2014 greatest pop songs and take elements from each of them and combine them to make a new product.
I believe that we’ve actually have been “remixing” for a very long time, especially us educators. For example, something as simple as a teacher sharing their resources with you and you modifying it to meet the standards of your students or your teaching style. There are many different ways of remixing now within our digital age. With technology, it is now easier for teachers and students to remix, find resources to help them remix, and be digitally literate. It is now very convenient to access information in many different ways, you can google or go on youtube. Producing something as simple as memes are easily done now. Sharing information is as easy as pressing the retweet button and things go viral in minutes. With all this access and technology, remixing and reusing things, like the DJ Earworm’s mashup, it allows us to create something new. We should take advantage of remixing and the technological tools we have .We have a wide range of digital tools that allow us to remix resources that involve, pictures, videos, audio and so much more.
Here are some tools that I have either used or learned about from other educators that involve remixing. Take a look through them and enjoy! Hope you’ll be able to use them in your classroom!
