Arggh, since my hippie hosted main blog is down for the count tonight, I shall hang my blog post here. In prepping the work for next week’s ds106 section on Remix, I needed/wanted to do one of the assignments we just added- Recycle the Media in which we are charged with making a mashup from the […]

My students this semester are doing some of the best work (especially in terms of representing their work online) I’ve seen since I started teaching this course in January.
