Idea dump: Remix This PD

I was reading about how this generation loves to generate their own content, either through pictures, audio, or video.  The “Call Me Maybe” song was annoying, but the remixes were hysterical to watch.  It is always fun to watch Jimmy Fallon remix a song using toddler instruments.

So I thought about creating times for teachers where:

  1. Give everyone in the group (not sure how large to go) the same idea or concept
  2. Take 30 minutes with a partner to remix that idea for their classroom using whatever tools they decide
  3. Then giving them 3 slides and 3 minutes to present their idea to the group

I am going to hash out some more details soon and hopefully launch this a few times throughout the 2nd semester.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.
