A quick and dirty history of the ‘rip and remix’…

I have been thinking this morning about the term ‘rip and remix’ that Graham over at Teaching Generation Z introduced me to. It is a compelling term, and I have been pondering it in context of the way our students learn or make sense of their learning. My thoughts are by no means [...]
