Last week I had the privilege of presenting some of my work to a group of educators from Mumbai.
My focus was on how remix (the digital thing kids do at home and post to Youtube) has important connections to history, culture, cognition and globalization...and it can be a powerful teaching tool.
After the talk they gave me so many new ideas, I was starting to regret that I talked so much in my presentation.
Below is the presentation, and an article about their visit from NJ.com.

Historic Interview
For this project students interviewed someone they knew about experiences during an interesting time period or place or during an important or historic event.
This interviewee doesn't have to have been directly involved in an historic even. His or her indirect experiences--as a bystander or witness--can be just as powerful. Also, it doesn't have to be a single event. For example, living in the south during segregation or growing up on a farm can be extremely powerful interviews.
This example is a son's interview of his father about his father's political experiences in India and the United States. It was part of last semester's Podcourse (forgot to post it here), and I'm using it as an example for this semester's students.
