perfectlyGoodInk"Tune In ..." is an interactive piece, a 10 ft. tall cathedral radio shell that will play, for the duration of Flipside, anonymous interviews done with members of the burn community.
Harkening back to a time when the only means of large scale communication was the radio; we wish to highlight the literal voices of the people who make up our community, so that those member's stories can be heard.
Boost the signal! Recommend the page! We're going to need about 150 hours of interviews, so the more people who talk, the easier it is to fill up the time.
If you are interested in being a part of this project, either through building or doing an interview, please contact us. -

Jason WelkerThrough interactive graphs, ThinkEconomics illustrates basic economic principles that are taught in a college-level introductory economics course. These graphs enable students to develop analytic and deductive reasoning skills by manipulating graphical elements of the economic models. Students also learn how to apply these models to analyze and understand economic phenomena.
Economic models represent causal economic interrelationships that occur in a particular sequence or order. Textbooks offer written explanations accompanied by static illustrations, but they cannot capture or animate the step-by-step dynamics of an economic model. In a classroom, a professor typically draws a graph on the chalkboard, explains its construction, and then uses the graph to analyze the effects of various changes in the model's parameters or variables. This classroom explanation and graphical manipulations happen only once and the total analysis can be very difficult to replicate in student lecture notes.
With the interactive possibilities of Macromedia Flash and the anytime, anyplace nature of the Web, students can now experience the models as they were meant to be, and in the process, learn to "think economics." Because of the vector capabilities of Flash, the models do not require a broadband connection for fast downloading and students can easily repeat each model as many times as necessary to understand the economic principle. Animation and interactivity combine to create a greatly improved learning environment.
