Popular Music and Education

Teaching with popular music is how my whole journey into teaching with popular culture began. I'm POSITIVE I learned more from Rolling Stone in high school than I did from any of my literature classes.

The first real Mindblue Production was this grant funded project where I worked with an intern to integrated the music, history and culture of Motown Records into the curriculum of a school outside of Detroit. Obviously, I'd love to plug the Blue Song Guides here (I'm allowed a few gratuitous plugs) but there are also tons of wonderful resources out there for us to share.

Please use this discussion forum to share cool projects, ideas and tunes that rock the classroom!

Thank you all for joining my favorite group!

I have a copy of a paper that I co-authored entitled "The message of “The Poverty of Philosophy”: Rap-inspired critical communication in non-minority classrooms" for anyone interested. It provides some background on pedagogy and ideas on how to use it in several contexts.

William S. Burroughs and Kurt Cobain come up in a post in the Graphic Novels and American Lit group here that you might be interested in (audio part at the bottom).

Howdy Pop People!

If you didn't get a chance to check out yesterday's blog/ MJ Lesson Idea Challenge please do take a hot minute to check it out. This experiment - putting raw materials out for lesson plan ideas - is something I'd like to develop further. That being said, your feedback on that post would be helpful since y'all are the pop music people round here :)

Keep things funky!

Hip-Hop in the Heartland Educators' Conference!

The final schedule was just posted...this summer looks to be a powerful set of intersections--between the Allied Media Conference and this Hip-Hop Ed con, we can explore myriad avenues for using popular culture and media resources in the classroom and for community work.
