How to remix
There are many ways to create your first remix. Let's use the example of the Reading the Web: Credibility session (itself a remix of MOUSE's Kraken the Code activity).
This activity asks learners to investigate whether or not a "Kraken", a legendary sea creature, is real or fictional. Sometimes details within a piece of curriculum are not appropriate for your audience, but you can replace it with a different research topic. Some ideas:
Make the context appropriate for your organization type. For example:
** GLAM: Are all the best paintings really stored in the basement of the Louvre?
** After School: Would a real Nigerian prince ever email you?
** Community: Are unicorns real?
** University: Does our school have a secret society?
Do a Topical Remix:
** History: Could you rent a pineapple in England during the 19th century?
** Geography: Is Shangri-La real or fictional?
** Biology: Can humans have webbed feet?
We would love to know how you remix Club activities! Please share your ideas with the global community.
