"It's the Remix to Cognition" (Brandon, Richie and Nick)

In this week’s episode, Brandon, Richie and Nick cover the topic of Remix. We address how this term is rooted within music culture, yet has come to have a great influence in all content areas. Why does it feel okay to copy others, but not okay when someone copies you? How does remix appeal to both the formality of a classroom and the informality of a student’s outside world? Can a physical education class include student remixes of some kind? Check out their own remix, if you will, featuring all things Ferguson, James, Knobel, and Lankshear.
