Contemporary Composition, Theory

Your Voice in Mine

How can I hear my own voice unless it bounces off of yours? I have had that single line in my mind for years. It isn’t particularly poetic, and I don’t completely agree with what it implies, but I’ve tried relentlessly to write the poem I hear inside it. It has something to do with the way the masses in NYC weave, avoid, embrace. I … Continue reading Your Voice in Mine

Congratulations on the completion of your degree @sukanyabhat410! Thank you for inviting @xiaoying1037 and me to the Guru Vandana. What a great way to be reinvigorated for the work of teaching & learning! I loved the focus on the catalytic bond of teacher and student through knowledge production. We are conducting a study on teachers' experiences teaching with technologies. Linked below is a survey with options for written or audio responses that will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. It's nearing the end of the semester and it's time for some 🗣 shout outs 🗣 for those who have supported us along the way! #tch410 #tch410challenge7 Calling all #tch410 posters! I’m thinking we should hold some Studio Hours where we can connect, talk #tch410 challenges & share teaching challenges we’re facing right now. As Studio Hours, you can work on your challenges & teaching work while we chat informally. It would be optional, but a chance to touch base and get support. So, the questions are: Are you interested? When would be good for you? In #tch410, we are #HOMAGO-ing: Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out. These are three different ways of engaging with something new to learn that ethnographers Mimi Ito and her colleagues found in their research working with many youth over years to find out how young people learned across online spaces. My last two #tch410 posts and #tch410challenge2 have me thinking about a story I told about TV for a podcast project I was working on with another class that’s still open to everyone! The long-awaited answer in my #tch410challenge1 gameshow! Drum roll....We had #tch410 guesses of radio and computers...but nope...television! So *dangerous* it inspired this quote! In fact, something similar was said about dime store novels back in the 1920s too--a "technology" that was going to destroy the moral fiber of youth. And yes, each advance has shifted and reshaped our social landscape for good and bad. It interesting to think about our history of adaptation as as well. We're a resilient bunch, we humans. Can you guess when this quote was said & what technology this quote is about?!?
