    This is a great series on remix. It puts things in perspective by looking at history.

    Great documentary on mash ups and copyright. This is for older kids. Notice that Brazil's Minister of Culture, Gilberto Gil is featured.

Project Information Literacy: Smart Talks - 0 views

  • But something like the concept of plagiarism has not changed.
  • But I don’t think that youth today are somehow more prone to plagiarism than their parents and grandparents, no, just as I don’t think they are somehow “dumber” or less interested in reading or many of the other myths about youth in a digital era.
  • Few of the handouts we analyzed—18%—defined plagiarism, discussed it as a form of academic fraud, and/or explained ways of avoiding it.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • an academic crime they have told us they really do not fully understand.
  • It’s not the core topic of most courses; it’s not fun; and it sounds school-marmish to bring it up. I prefer not to bring it up in my own teaching, so I quite understand the reluctance of teachers in your sample to do so.
  • It’s wrong to take the work of someone else and pass it off as your own, whether in the academic context or otherwise.
  • One area where some confusion seeps in has to with remixing content.
  • The remixing of content, with proper attribution and in keeping with the fair use principle under copyright, is something that we ought to encourage and to celebrate. We do need to help students understand the line between riffing off and ripping off the work of others.
  • These are skills that we should find ways to teach. I think they are best taught in the context of active projects where students have their hands dirty with materials, whether digital or not.
  • ibrarians should help our students figure out how to manage the rivers of digital information that they encounter every day…right now librarians are focused on the pools.
  • I think we need to be in the business of using these new rivers of information, adding to them, sharing what we know, and coding – developing, in the sense of writing computer code – new ones that work even better.
  • First, I want students to learn more about creativity and what they can and should do with information, whether or not it is held in copyright by someone else. How can they use and re-use they extraordinary wealth of information that they are blessed to have access too? Second, I hope that they will learn the skills to manage the vast amount of information they are confronted with. That includes knowing where to look, how to be efficient, how to stay on top of great sources.
  • And third, I think it’s crucial that they continue to learn to think independently for themselves.

Remixing Writing: A Digital Essay « The Unquiet Librarian - 1 views

  • I am currently collaborating with two of our English teachers to co-design and co-teach research and content creation for digital research projects.   Susan Lester (10th Honors World American Literature/Composition) and I began our project about three weeks ago (read more in this blog post), and I’ll be working with John Bradford (11th Honors American Literature/Composition) as of Tuesday for the next month or so on his twist on the project (more details coming soon).  In both of our collaborative projects, we felt our students were not quite ready  in terms of skill sets or prior learning experiences to completely open up the possibilities for a digital research “paper” or project although students do have creative latitude in choosing and designing their multigenre elements that will be integrated into the wiki based “text”; students also have the option to integrate multimedia into each section of their wikified “papers”.
  • the three of us  felt torn in wanting to open up the options and not setting up students for utter frustration (to the point many would completely shut down) in terms of combining two advanced skill sets (new research skills and content are being introduced);
  •  
    Think about student digital essays on Prezi and partnerships between teachers and librarians. Great ideas here.

Adventures in Experimental Philosophy: Training Your Brain to Innovate | Big Think Ment... - 0 views

  • Ask naïve questions, invert perceptions, combine incompatible ideas, remix metaphors and pursue paradox. 
  • yet I think that if you take these as a point of departure, as I sometimes do, you'll find that you get outside of yourself in terms of your routines, your education and your common sense.  And you start to look at the world in different ways that may lead you to ideas that you never knew that you had.
