1. The act of remixing does not singularly apply to music or art. A conversation in which views are expressed in response to something, is the act of remixing. This is because in "New Literacies" written by Colin Lankshear and Michele Knobel, they define culture as remix. They claim that cultures have to be made by taking pre-existing ideas and "mixing in" new elements. The idea of "remixing" becomes a broader idea and incorporates obvious creative processes but also mundane events such as conversation.
2. The accessibility of digital media to youth has empowered their creative processes and provided a worldwide audience to appreciate and spread their art. This is particularly powerful for low-income youth who do not have access to resources that get them recognized for their creativity. I find this fascinating in the realm of dance where it seems like every month there is a new viral dance craze or challenge like most recently "Shiggy Challenge." Very frequently, these dances that seep into every cultural corner, originated from low-income youth.
3. While Digital Editing A Guide for Educators was helpful in breaking down the process of movie making from production to audio, I found that it was too outdated. Digital applications change rapidly and this article was published in 2010. I would be interested to read about updated digital applications that are made specifically for youth.
