I thought this was an interesting video. I was amazed at how all of the various video clips fit together to form one original music clip. It showed talent by the collaborator, to even think to assemble such a collection. It was very creative- The music was fun, and it was great to see all of the different musicians and instruments combined--yet seperate. Cool idea.
So What??
How does this clip influence teaching? By learning to collect and collaborate information from all of the various media, as educators we will be able and enhance our lessons. I thought this video helped me to see another idea, and helped me be able to see the benefit of collecting previously designed and presented ideas, and be able to adjust them to use for my needs as an educator. This would indeed save time and energy on my part when preparing for my lessons. It reminds me of the saying, "Why re-invent the wheel?" We can pick and choose the information and media we require for a lesson, and then go in and find it, adapt it to what we need, and gain the positive benefits it offers without having to spend hours preparing it.
Then What??
I would be able to use this idea in my classroom. By having my students work together on different projects, and learn to combine all of their ideas, media, and information into a group collection or "collage' ", they will be able to present a group project that still allows each individual the opportunity to shine separately.
I feel this is an important element available to teachers and would definitely benefit my class.
