Share Your Silence John Cage’s 4'33" is a composition four minutes and thirty-three seconds in length, during which the performer—or performers—does not play a note. Often described as Cage’s "silent" piece, 4'33" was in fact meant to shift attention away from the performer, to the audience itself, and to the richness and variety of ambient sound. Reflecting years later on the 1952 debut performance, Cage wrote: "What they thought was silence, because they didn’t know how to listen, was full of accidental sounds." Use your mobile device to record the "silence" around you. Visit this web site to submit your recordings to MoMA's SoundCloud dropbox. Indicate where you recorded it in the description field. This sound map was made in conjunction with the exhibition There Will Never Be Silence: Scoring John Cage's 4'33", on view from October 12, 2013–June 22, 2014 at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Digitala kartor och källkritik Digitala kartor förändrar undervisningen Den digitala tekniken har fullständigt revolutionerat användningen av kartor, inte minst inom skolans undervisning. Tidigare var vi lärare hänvisade till de väggkartor som råkade finnas i klassrummet, de kartböcker skolan hade köpt in, de kartbilder som fanns i läroböckerna samt de köpta eller egenhändigt tillverkade overhead-bilder vi hade tillgång till. Antalet möjliga kartor att studera i klassrummet var därför starkt begränsat. Genom internet och annan digital teknik har både lärare och elever tillgång till ett mycket stort antal kartor från i stort sett hela världen på ett sätt som var helt otänkbart tidigare. Allt fler webbplatser publicerar digitala kartor och läromedelsförlagen har också följt med i utvecklingen och erbjuder sedan flera år kartor i digitalt format på cd-skivor eller via förlagens webbplatser. Kompletterar de tryckta kartorna Hur kan vi bedöma trovärdigheten? Även kartor kan innehålla värderingar Några källkritiska frågor
