I work in a 7th grade math classroom where constructivist learning is all about group collaboration. Unfortunately, the biggest challenge is setting things up such that the "experts" don't just jump in and make all of the critical decisions. As far as the opera goes, I'd like to see some creative ways to structure the process to provide for both wide participation as well as a final product that does have some structure. I'm skeptical of the idea that success must rely on meddling "professional" hands throughout the process.Bill SFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069057368715269638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5165118504093345923.post-67358955148635295152010-05-27T21:35:39.365-07:002010-05-27T21:35:39.365-07:00The Virtual Choir is amazing.

But it turned out the YouTube was only used as a selection tool and the members of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra did get together to play in the traditional condition. YouTube is just audition window. I'm both relieved and felt cheated.

I've run across charlieiscoollike before on YouTube but didn't know about <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYDRWXjJlB4" rel="nofollow">I've Got Nothing</a> & the ChartJackers saga. Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir is a brilliant take on "mashup" and I'd never heard of that before either.

But we shall see. When I was very very young, I rejected the idea of writing a play or a novel together with my sister. I thought and am still believing that artistic creating is a soul bearing process therefore can not be easily done collectively. Therefore, I'll remain a spectator in this new age spectacle.<br /><br />Cheers for the participators though.<br /><br /><a href="http://matthewfelixsun.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Matthew Felix Sun</a>Matthew Felix Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03347154808262264374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5165118504093345923.post-88758529926119373532010-05-27T07:22:29.076-07:002010-05-27T07:22:29.076-07:00Reminds me of a highbrow version ChartJackers.
