Too bad I missed it because I really wanted to discuss the idea of creative remix.  It seems like copyright gets in the way; even if the original artists are cool with remix and adaptations, the "copyright holder" is the one we have to get permission from.  Hmm.  Again, Creative Commons can be a great resource and the symbols are easy to understand.  I even learned a way to bring photos/images into iPhoto and keep the artist name in the information section for attribution for every successive remix or redistribition.  But now I have to convince my district to allow access to CC on campus.  It's ironic our district has to pay for web blocking in order to get some federal money but kids can bypass all that on their phones anyway.  I know I do-- I've used my phone as a hotspot to show a video from YouTube for my class.
