Remixing the Curriculum offers educators a way to rethink traditional curricular approaches through a “curricular remix,” a concept in which a curriculum becomes different from its original form, retaining its basic foundational elements, but experiencing a metamorphosis to create a new version. Remixing the Curriculum suggests that the way to develop curriculum to maximize student access and engagement is to employ essential elements of traditional pedagogy, but infuse it with technology to create new features through the X Framework (XFW). XFW capitalizes on four essential features of educators’ practice and learning: Technology Fitness, in which a teacher self-evaluates their comfort level using technology; Proactive Teaching, which front-loads the planning and preparation for instruction to prior to implementation; Universal Design for Learning (UDL), a set of principles which guide the conditions for learning, including flexible learning environments to accommodate individual learning differences; and Assistive Technology, technology to improve the capabilities of students with disabilities. At the intersection of these four quadrants is X, which serves as a fulcrum for access to the curriculum.

Stringer Keefe (education, Lesley University) and Steiner (technology/instruction, Boston College) bring current methodologies and theories to technology and instruction in K–12 through an innovative approach called the X Framework (XFW). It is composed of four pieces: technology fitness, proactive teaching, universal design for learning, and assistive technology. Seasoned teachers through education students will find the X Framework approachable and well supported by research. The book is organized into two parts: “The Technology Mindset” and “Remixing the Classroom.” The authors contend that XFW can shift educators out of traditional practices that do not address all students’ needs. Different learning needs, styles, and backgrounds demand a practice that provides an “increased opportunity to access the curriculum.” Stringer Keefe and Steiner also provide straightforward and accessible information about classroom technology approaches, devices, hardware, software, and programs that can inspire all educators to try something new and remold their classrooms. Included at the end of the book is a helpful reference list that encourages further research, reading, and exploration. The content focuses on current K–12 teachers, but preservice education students will also gain valuable insights into the realities, challenges, and opportunities of K–12 teaching.Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals and practitioners.
