Sing A Song Of Peace (To The World): Remix 2024

A number of years ago, I wrote and recorded an original song with my friend, John Graiff, called A Gift Of Peace (for Christmas) and each year, I work on different remix versions. This year, I took the huge collection of music stem files (the individual tracks) and began tinkering with some of them, moving […]

This is part of a larger experiment with other teachers to create a Collaborative ABC Movie using Web 2.0 tools and features. For one of my letters -- Z --- I wrote a poem and used images from a site called MapMyWord, and then put them together as this movie.

I wrote this as my students were writing their own songs. I also wanted to experiment to see how far the song might travel along various networks, so feel free to pass the link along through your networks.

This is a repeat of the comment I left on your Blog.

I am involved in a European Union funded education project looking at how to use digital comics in schools http://www.educomics.org

I am looking for websites and forums that focus on the use of digital comics in education, any suggestions would be very welcome.

I have a good list of websites that have comic tools, this is mainly about using the comics within the school.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Joel

With your interest in Technology and Writing, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording conducted by Nellie Deutsch on Technology Integration.

I have used Edublogs. Why do you wish you started in Edublogs?

Speaking of ECSU, you may be interested in our Nutmeg project. We have collaborated with a class at the university. As part of their course work, they had to use Web2.0 tools to create book hooks and response to literature activities for our wikis. Here is an example of a book hook (scroll down to see the voki) http://nutmeg2009.sblc.wikispaces.net/MVP created by one of the students. It was a reading course, not technology. The professor is trying to integrate technology into her courses.

I love your Youth Radio blog. I am interested in setting up a Word press blog. Can you tell me what you are using and how you got started? Also, are you happy with Word press. How do you manage the podcasts? Are you paying for a space to store them?
thanks
Rebecca

I play an electronic MIDI keyboard for fun, and I like to compose music. I'm still going through everyone's blogs and trying to keep the details straight! Music technology is one of my hobbies.
