REEEEEEEEEEEEEMIX
One of the more interesting topics of the quarter has been this idea that “everything is a remix”. May sound weird, but hear me out!

No distinction off- or online
How many of us deliberately have a difference between our online and offline selves? Seems this intentionality occurs as students gain awareness of other communities beyond their own immediate experiences (or have more experiences). For example, some freshmen entered the high school this year with usernames like, madcow6969 and codyeatsworms. Not exactly academic.
