Nov 19: The goals of public history

Audio Assignment

You will choose and do an assignment from the DS106 Audio Assignment Bank. This project can be related or unrelated to your group project.

Here is a guide to producing audio.

By 8:00 am on Monday, November 19, write a post that includes the following:

  1. Which audio assignment will you be doing.
  2. What hardware and software will you be using.
  3. A statement about how this approach to storytelling might be used to make an historical argument.

By 5:50 pm on Wednesday, November 21, post your audio production (hosted on Soundcloud) to the course blog along with an updated statement about how this approach to storytelling might be used to make an historical argument.

We are examining how voters and candidates use the internet and its tools to affect the elections. In 2008 a new record was made by first time voters and in the 2012 elections we saw voters vote online.
Currently we are working on a website built on baruch blogs to represent each one of our elections (2000,2004,2008, and 2012)
Maps, pictures, articles, and other interactive data will be presented and will vary per election.
There will also be a comparison between the 4 elections.

“What effect did the debates have on, specifically, the 1960, 1992, and 2012 presidential election outcomes?”

To analyze data we gather, tools such as wordle, fusion tables, polls included on our site, and maps will be used to help in support of answering our question.
