What purposeful learning - all self-directed with a few tips from me.
My son would kill me (but i know he doesn't read my blog ;-)
It all started with an i-pod & a teenager & here are the steps that follow:
- copy my cds to the computer to upload on my i-pod (download the most updated iTunes 1st)
- i want to remix... editing software? file formats don't match?
- download audacity - the file formats don't work - download the lame.dll to do it with
- import cut & paste the bits of music
- uum need to add my own bits - download acid express - get some extra loops & tracks in there
- uuum the file formats just don't fit between these 3 programmes - download an mp3 convertor - convert and import back into iTunes - voila
I couldn't help myself - as i am always looking for the next thing you could do "How can you work out how to download your remix on to your phone & create your own ringtones?" Did i say that?! i should have bitten my lip...
Fantastic skills - context??? pretty gross but i guess that's where the engagement comes in - now the challenge to channel the power and the purpose together.
As for the finished product - keep the earphones on Sean - i don't want to hear it!!!
