Rock Our World

If you thought SnowBlog is dead, it is not.. We started another year and tomoday we are participating in 'Rock Our World'.

7 countries plus a researcher from North Pole will be telling stories about Christmas and Hannuka. Online and live. Today.

Rock Our World (www.rockourworld.org) brings together classroom teams--from the U.S. to New Zealand--to compose songs collaboratively using Apple's GarageBand software. Each class lays down a track (like guitars, drumbeats, or strings) before passing along the file to the next, until the original track has made it all the way around the globe. Throughout the process, the kids gather online to exchange stories, photographs, and films about their lives. "In one 30-second piece of music," says McGuire, "we could hear the flavor, culture, and drama of every single country."

Rock our World takes places the third time this year.
