摘要

In this chapter, we offer you a “remixing” lens through which to see a kaleidoscope of relations and creations, intricate webs of unpredictable collisions across time and space. We share with you the joy of adding a remix sensibility to your repertoire, no matter your content area or the level of writing assignment. Our interest is to develop a seamless relationship in the classroom between creativity, the learning process, and the production of new works; i.e., relating to the course of study as opportunities to create/make something new out of what exists and become more engaged pedagogues. Tapping into our students’ and colleagues’ capacity to perform is the through line for all of this activity and what we find keeps students engaged as co-creators of the learning environment. Since environments that support our capacity to be who we are and we are becoming throughout the lifespan are social/joint activities, our passion for remixing is tied to its reliance on and creation of joint activities. This chapter shows how educators can continuously grow their classroom learning environments by remixing or creating with each other’s offers. That, as you know, is counterintuitive to our training as teachers and students—thus, creating a remix ensemble is a performance, something we don’t know how to do, something beyond ourselves! As well, this chapter offers activities to support your continuously creating joint activities through collectively remixing. These activities help you and your students expand what you have access to: from 5000 years of written history, to emerging digital tools, to popular culture, and to philosophical concepts, in order to enliven course content, create new products of learning, and simultaneously build the improvisational ensemble—a positive challenge to the individualized and competitive culture of higher education.
