REMIXING CONTENT

-
I understand "remixing content" to mean content that is recycled in a way that is made to be relevant in todayʻs society.

In other words, “remixing content” is a collaborative effort of content creators pairing with technology to change materials in a way that feels new.

An example of "remixing content" would be music artist Latto, recently sampled a song from Mariah Careyʻs hit single “Fantasy” off her 1995 Daydream album.  Mariah Careyʻs single was a sample from 80ʻs group Tom Tom Club 1982 song “Genius of Love.”  



The purpose of the assignment is to understand that “remix content” is nothing new and has always been a part of our culture.  Majority of our favorite artists, businesses, and social media influencers use “remix content” for their work.  “Remix content” is shared and created daily and spread globally. 

The key question at the heart of the assignment is have you ever created “remixed content” before?

    Aloha Chloe,
    First of all, just let me say that I'm impressed and inspired by the creativity you have shown with your posts for this class, and beyond. Your statement displays CLARITY when you started your blog with "I understand "remixing content" to mean content that is recycled in a way that is made to be relevant in todays society." The Clarity of that first sentence set the tone for the rest of your Blog and placed the reader - me, right on track with where you were going. Lastly, your example using Mariah Carey and her remix songs is a great, on target, example...Lately, as the Holidays are
    coming closer I've been hearing her...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAkMkVFwAoo, one of the most successful Remixes ever.

INTELLECTUAL STANDARDS PART 2

INTELLECTUAL STANDARDS PART 2 1.     Depth 1. I understand "depth" to mean adding layers to your statement, idea, or question 2. In other words, when we say a question has "depth," we are implying more behind the question's meaning.  When a statement causes you to probe deeper and has you questioning how this relates to you, that is having "depth." 3. An example of someone exhibiting depth with social media would be someone posting images of the Haitian migrants trying to cross the Mexican border for asylum and being attacked by Texas Border patrol with whips.  Under the image has a statement saying, "The U.S. turning a blind eye to Haitian asylum seekers." 2. Breadth 1. I understand "breadth" to mean looking at multiple viewpoints of a statement. 2. In other words, we may not agree with the statement. Still, if we can look at all sides of the statement (liberal and conservative views) and recognize the different perspec
