Remix Culture: Part 1 of 3. At about 8 minutes this is a great intro to remix culture.  What is remix culture?  From my point of view, it is the recontextualization of information which results in increased meaning.  By drawing upon part of our shared cultural heritage (a song or video) and mashing it up with either another part of our shared culture or content created by yourself (or friends),  people are now able to leverage both content areas to make ultra rich content. Kind of like when you watch "The Wizard of Oz" and listen to "Dark Side of the Moon"

Remix Culture: Addendum  Remix Culture at it's finest and funniest.  These people have taken cspan coverage and newscasters, auto-tuned their voices, added a backing beat and created an amazing song.  This is not the funniest but it is the most pc of their videos.  I don't think any of their videos would be offensive to most adults.  "Turtles," is probably my fav.

Remember this funny video from our session?

Helpful introduction (albeit promotion) of Diigo for the new user.

A starter for web2.0 introduction...

Good example of using a movie, an environmental concern, and a bunch of elementary kids to make a difference!

Oddly inviting!
