Channeling the Flow : 2¢ Worth - Annotated
- But in thinking about a recent post if mine, comparing students to learners, it
seems difficult (to impossible) to be a learner in a learning
environment that virtually ignores the information flow. -
We teach in closed environments, from stale textbooks, and too often we seem
more focused on what we can block with our networks than what we can light up
our classrooms with. Our curriculum is paced and pixelated, and based on
pedagogies that may well be increasingly irrelevant to today’s learners. - However learning culture can lead to teachers who are engaged in personal
learning adventures.

To use Incredibox just head over to the website, select the English or French version, then start mixing sounds by dragging from the menu to the "people field." Every time you add a new sound a new person appears in the screen. Click a person to delete the sound he represents.Thanks to David Kapuler for sharing this link. Applications for EducationUnfortunately, there does not appear to be a way to download the sound loops you create on Incredibox. That said, it could still be a good resource for students to use to experiment with rhythms and sounds in an introduction to music course.
