collaborate (verb):to work, one with another
February 20, 2009 |
Pool is a social media project developed by ABC Radio National. It’s a place to share your creative work with the Pool community and ABC producers – upload music, photos, videos, documentaries, interviews, animations and more. It’s a collaborative space where audiences become makers. |
| Gene Pool was launched on February 12th – to coincide with Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday. Throughout the year the ABC will release archival material exploring the idea of evolution, beginning with genetics professor Steve Jones talking about the life and work of Charles Darwin. Other offerings include a soon to be uploaded clip from ABC’s Monday Conference in 1971 featuring Paul Ehrlich talking about climate change. | |
These archives will be released under a Creative Commons licence allowing you to reuse or remix them in any way you like as long as it’s for non-commercial use. You can ‘tweak, twist and remix’ the files to create your interpretation of the themes of evolution and mutation. Using the Pool you can share these results with the rest of the world. The idea is to build a community around the project, remixing and reusing the ABC archival material in new and creative ways.
Visit the Gene Pool for more information about contributing to the project. Your students’ contributions could be chosen to feature on ABC radio throughout the year or at the public exhibition at Melbourne’s RMIT on November 24th – the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s book The Origin of Species.
