the guitar…

Education 3.0
Create, Consume, Remix, & Share
Edu-Blogger:
• YouTube Video: Have You Been Paying Attention?
• “…Has anyone seen this garbage? Students don’t need to
remix anything! Educators must teach them to be original,
have original thought, and do original work! Imagine if
society worked this way.
• We’d still be hoping someone would invent the rolling stone
so as to create a wheel. Imagine a world where using other
people’s work to create your own was ok.
• We’d never have gotten past the toaster to see the benefits
of the microwave. We’d never have gotten past swing music
to experience amazing original works like Elton John’s “The
Lion King” or other seminal works…”

Can You Feel The love Tonight?
•
•
Save tonight, fight the break of
dawn, come tomorrow,
tomorrow I’ll be gone…
And she will be loved – and
she will be loved…
•
I can’t stand to fly, I’m not
that naïve, I’m just out to
find, the better part of me,
I’m more than a bird, I’m
more than a plane…
•
You’re beautiful! You’re
beautiful!
•
If I could, then I would, I’ll go
wherever you will go, way up
high, or down low, I’ll go
wherever you will go…
Remix, Sample, or Steal?

Harry Truman, Doris Day,

Red China, Johnnie Ray,
you do, I will be right here
South Pacific, Walter

We’re not gonna take it, no
we ain’t gonna take it –
we’re not gonna take it
anymore
Remix, Sample, or Steal?
There was a time when I was so
broken hearted
• On your mark, get set, and
go now – gotta dream and
• I think we’re alone now, there
we just know now
doesn’t seem to be anyone
around
• I come from a land down
•
under, where women roll
and men thunder…
See the stone set in her eyes,
see the thorn twist in her side,
and I’m waiting for you, with or • When I find myself in times
without you
of trouble, Mother Mary
comes to me, speaking
• Take on me, Take me up, I’ll be
words of wisdom, let it be
gone, ?????
