'Bringing Social Networks into the Classroom'
Remix World is the DYN’s contained new media driven social networking website. Remix World is a community of active media producers and consumers made up of DYN youth participants and select adult mentors.
With a familiar interface and similar functionality to popular online communities, students are able to easily share and critique videos, songs, podcasts, graphic designs, and more. Users share perspective and create dialogue through regular blog postings and discussion threads. image
While the basic system resembles many existing social networking sites, customized adaptations to the infrastructure, targeted modeling of productive use and integration of the site in DYN’s existing activities has positioned Remix World as a promising tool for scaffolding media critique.
