Remix (Thing 3)

Thing 3: Remix the course description:

Original: 

We do not require textbooks, exams, or formal essays. We do require active participation and creativity each and every week. We also require an auto-didactic approach to learning (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. about media creation and tools (go figure it out). Each week, we will read and annotate journal articles; watch relevant videos; explore and discuss digital stories; try new media tools; and produce/share our own digital stories. We will read, watch, annotate, discuss, make, discover, and share – 8 times (weeks).

Don’t worry about artistry. Grades are based on effort, participation, and engagement, and NOT artistic ability.

I am primarily interested in your personal growth. I want you to stretch. I want you to experiment with ideas and tools.
