Remix (Laura, Eilene, and Justine)

Digital Literacies and 21st Century Skills

This week, Laura Erwin, Eilene Paul, and Justine Moody spoke about Remix. We discuss Remix in terms of What is remix? Is it to combine or edit material to create something new- first seen in music? What role does remix have in cultural production? We looked at the huge influence on our musical influences and styles, by adding and switching techniques and the video “everything is a remix”. How should educators use remix? We researched the concept of Remix, to answer these questions through Ferguson (2015) Everything is a remix, James (2016) Mapping critical media literacy onto iterative remix practice, and Knobel and Lankshear (2008) Remix: The art and craft of endless hybridization. We discuss all these topics and more in this episode.
