Look at how this multi-media video (video, music, writing, graphics, effects), yet it also tackles a very complex subject, how many types of art are linked together. Furthermore, it raises a very important question, is anything original? Plus, look at all the different genres and types of knowledge this pieces connects. Just think of all the work that must have gone in to compiling this (and I mean searching and analyzing content - to say nothing of putting this multi-media project together).
Not bad for a video that is just over five minutes in length.
Everything is a Remix from Kirby Ferguson on Vimeo.
Why can't schools structure assignments like this? Rather than read the assigned story and answer the questions at the end? (And, I'm guilty as anyone of doing that). But I'm trying to change.
How much more would we learn in school if we were charged to complete some form of multi-media project like this vimeo example as opposed to taking four tests and writing a paper?
Here is the sequal to "Everything is a Remix."

So... is there now a new definition for plagiarism?
