Anti-Vuvuzela Software Appears : Discovery News - 1 views

  • The first method involves removing or lowering the actual frequency of the instrument using everything from your TV's built-in equalizer to running your sound through an audio filter. The audio filter technique is used by audio and video editors to remove hums and buzzes from soundtracks. It works by identifying an exact frequency and removing it. Most vuvuzelas apparently buzz away in the key of B Flat. Bach composed his Brandenburg Concerto No. 6. in the key of B flat and it sounded nice. When soccer fans make B flats it sounds like angry bees.
  • The second method *apparently* involves noise cancellation. Found at antivuvuzelafilter.com, the idea is that you download an mp3 that directly counters the frequencies produced by the sound of the vuvuzela. You play it alongside the TV and the vuvuzela sound disappears. The makers explain it this way: Our specially designed Vuvuzela noise-cancellation sound is a wave with the same amplitude but with an inverted phase to the original sound.The waves combines to form a new wave, in a process called interference, which effectively cancel each other out - an effect which is called phase cancellation.Depending on the circumstances the resulting soundwave may be so faint as to be inaudible to human ears.

Critical Thinking: What Is It, Anyway? - 1 views

  • critical thinking demands objective examination of a topic and then a conscious response to that examination.
  • The ability to think critically is arguably the most important skill for the 21st century person. It’s the equipment anyone can use to navigate a world of ideas that are increasingly unmitigated and available—everyone is tweeting, blogging, and broadcasting into the ether, so sorting through all the static is that much more important.
  • Consider who wrote the piece.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Figure out what the writer is saying—and what she isn’t saying.
  • When you’re considering the “what” of a piece of writing, you’ll have to consider what you know about the topic as well, which colors your ability to assess it.
  • Context is so important; you’ll need to consider it.
  • Looking into when means looking at the political and economic time frame of the argument, both on a national level and in the writer’s personal life.
  • What prompted the whole thing, anyway?
  • How did this piece of work get into your hands anyway? Was it intended for you?
  • You’re going to have to leave your emotions out of it, or at least be aware of them and separate them from the task of critical thinking.

Redesigning Education: Why Can't We Be in Kindergarten for Life? | Fast Company - 2 views

  • While listening to the teachers' presentation at my twins' school, I had a moment of clarity: The kindergarten classroom is the design studio.
  • The kindergarten classroom is the design studio. All of the learning activities that take place inside the kindergarten classroom are freakishly similar to the everyday environment of my design studio in the "real world."
  • Like the design studio, the kindergarten environment places human interaction above all else.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • In a kindergarten classroom, while there are walls with white boards or smart boards, the "front" of the room is indistinguishable. Every available wall and surface is an opportunity to display student work. The design allows students to explore many different ways of learning in the classroom--it's learner-centered space.
  • The learner-centered paradigm should extend beyond the kindergarten classroom.
  • Unfortunately, most educational institutions follow a model that creates an impersonal environment where adults, teaching, and authority are at the center.
  • For example, at the Henry Ford Academy: School for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, self-contained classrooms are replaced with clustered learning spaces.
  • Many schools and work environments are embracing the reality that we live in multidisciplinary global world. The challenges and opportunities that we face in the 21st century require creativity, innovation and a deeper understanding of the complexities of the global economy, politics and culture.
