The Power of Remix: Transforming Education and Media (Highlights)

Remixing lesson plans and teaching according to how society and life changes will provide better instruction quality and more relatable things for the classroom.

Kids nowadays grew up with technology, so I would most likely look into the trends that they're paying attention to. Look into what's trending on social media, learn their slang, learn their little lingo, and adapt to it. I want them to use media, rather than media using them.

Remixing allows educators to ensure that learning materials are inclusive and accessible to all students and that they can adapt resources to accommodate diverse learning needs, ensuring that no child is left behind.

We have to inform people, especially the young generation, to be careful of what we're exposing ourselves to.

As digital tools and technologies evolve, remixing itself allows teachers and educators to integrate multimedia and digital platforms into their practice, helping them stay current and making lessons more interactive and effective.

One of the problems I came across was that I am not someone who's super tech-savvy, so I can't really come up with something from scratch. My method was I would go to other publishers, I would go to their Instagram accounts, I would look at their YouTube videos. I would basically remix what they were doing instead of saying copying, because I was basically copying what other big companies were doing. Nothing is original, nothing is new, and we just need to keep using other work, like copying other work, to evolve ideas.

Advertisers are now copying TikTok as a framework for getting their stuff out there, which I think is hilarious. Part of me feels like they're thinking, "Let's trick the kids. They won't know the difference." Remix is no longer taboo, and I think that's what people haven't really wrapped their heads around yet.

Adriana
The most dramatic results happen when different ideas are combined, and we shouldn't criticize that.
