The Drum Duino is a novel device that makes music or rhythmical sounds using any object as percussive instrument.
The rhythmical sounds follow the drum patterns that are programmed using a tangible user interface. The main focus in this project was to design a tangible link combined with digital processing and physical output. This physical output is then transferred into audible sounds so it becomes a novel instrument. In addition it is a fun instrument to use because the user can experiment with different sounds using common objects found in his environment. Many of us may have grown up playing and learning music through beating and tapping on any object we could find in our vicinity. The more creative the user is, the more exciting the music gets. Both shape and material of the chosen objects will determine the sound that will be created by the tapping of the Drum Duino device.

Digital Audience Development Workshop 2009Inner Ear
A two hour workshop by digital media production and promotion company Inner Ear on how to use social media to attract audiences and sell tickets to arts events. Devised and delivered for The Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Mic’d up and ready to be heard. Starved of social interaction, live audio quickly became an avenue for consumers to be entertained and informed, and for marketers to connect with those consumers in 2021. It all started with the social audio app Clubhouse, which immediately led to several clones cropping up as new apps or additional features in existing social networks. In this session, we'll discuss why audio needs to be part of the marketer playbook.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. Beyond The City of Ember
Creating an Audio Production
with a Team of Students
Kurt Sherman – ksherman@ccsuvt.org
Dave Davidson – ddavidson@ccsuvt.org
2.
3. Where did the idea come from?
•Connection to Everyday Mathematics
•Connection to language arts
Project with decimals, percents, fractions
Writing a chapter as a language assignment
4. Project Inspirations
• VT Fest Workshop
• Connect the Dots
course project
• Smaller projects
• Professional
examples
•Radio Lab
•PHC
• Technology well-
matched to the need
6. Why an Audio Production?
The right level of
exposure. Middle
school students
can enjoy
performing
without the
angst of seeing
themselves
performing
Almost every class member had a speaking role
7. Why an Audio Production?
Very accessible
technology that
a number of
students can
use
simultaneously
to create a
single
production
Audacity – free, on all our computers, easy to use and full of features, and an
inexpensive microphone

Easier to create a
high quality audio
production than a
comparable video
production. We
can’t match the
level of quality of a
commercially
produced video.
This project followed watching a commercially produced feature film.
10. Why an Audio Production?
Audio
production
allows the
audience to fill
in the details
that a visual
production
must provide
11. Why an Audio Production?
Fewer
permission and
copyright issues
than other
media. Made
almost entirely
of “home
grown” content.
Our own script, narration, most of the sound effects and discussed creating our own
music
12. National Educational Technology

• The rented warehouse approach
Class read-through using a brainstorming approach assigning teams for research playback
voting drop and go saving
20. Problem
Solving to Find the
Perfect Sound Effects
• How do we create a sound
effect for…
• The script comes first. What
do you need? Crowd noise? A
rock falling into a cave? Boats
pushing off from shore? Music
that evokes… what?
• Decide what you want and then decide the best way to
find it, modify it or create it.
21. Project Resources

24. Where’s the Warehouse? (Audacity)
• Getting beyond the “GULP!”
• Audacity is like your bedroom when you were 12
• Starting to clean things up
• Exploring tools
• Condensing tracks
• Class meetings, playbacks and being “thick-
skinned”
Selecting for initial success how not to panic with file overload condensing tracks sound effects for
quality being critical friends
25. Audacity
• Free open-source software for
recording and editing sound
•Audacity may look
intimidating (all the wave
patterns, etc.) but it is a
VERY user-friendly program
•Audacity’s strengths
• Free
• Easy to use
• Many useful features that
students can discover on their
own
• For this project Audacity was used to:
• Record and edit narration and sound effects
• Import and edit music and sound effects
• Mix and merge narration, music and sound effects
• It’s a great program for students to use to create a new
sound from one or more recorded or downloaded sounds.
26. Audacity Basic Controls
Basic controls for recording and listening; you need to stop before making changes; can
listen to one section by moving to that section or highlighting;
27. Audacity – Tool Box
For our project we only use the selection, timeshift and zoom tools
28. Audacity - Simple Editing
• Delete an
unwanted section
of a track
• Play only one of
many tracks
Adjusting volume
• Move a track
30. Audacity –
Advanced Editing
• Adding Effects
• Combining Tracks
• Exporting as an MP3 File
For our project we only used the echo
and fade in and fade out filters
32.
Bringing Components Together
•Being a believer in the project
•The importance of frequent review
•Always ask for feedback
•Make group work selective
Always ask for feedback/opinions keep the project on the front burner participation
means investment in ideas learn how to be expeditious
34. Promotion
The Escape Podcast Web Site
An audio production
Web site gives you:
• an established presence
that people can be
directed to
• an easy way to deliver
your audio production
• an opportunity to fill in
the back story
• a chance to add images,
thank people and give
credit
• a place where your
visual artists and writers
can shine
35. Finding an Audience
Locating classes; is this how you begin a project or end a project? looked for a class that had
a connection to the book or movie, they listened to our podcast; read back story on the Web
page- Maine; EJ - read City of Ember;
• Who would be an
appropriate audience for
this production?
• Too much effort not to be
shared
• The benefits of feedback
• Celebrity status – a
younger audience may be a
more appreciative audience
• A class who has had a
similar experience will
realize the effort involved
36. Connecting with an Audience
Skype; questions in both directions; speaker in central spot; celebrities for a few minutes
• Video conferencing to
connect classrooms
• Skype, a projector and
a quality Webcam
• Have a “hot seat”
where students sit to
answer and ask
questions
• Voicethread would be
an asynchronous option
if time zones and
schedules interfere
