This course looks at the history of avant-garde and electronic music from the early twentieth century to the present. The class is organized as a theory and production seminar for which students may either produce audio/multimedia projects or a research paper. It engages music scholarship, cultural criticism, studio production, and multi-media development, such as recent software, sound design for film and games, and sound installation. Sound as a media tool for communication and sound as a form of artistic expression are subjects under discussion. The artists' work reviewed in the course includes selections from audio innovators such as the Italian Futurists, Edgard Varèse, John Cage, King Tubby, Brian Eno, Steve Reich, Afrika Bambaataa, Kraftwerk, Merzbow, Aphex Twin, Rza, Björk, and others.

Government classrooms could use podcasting to encourage discussion about political issues and current events. Most government classrooms are held during the twelfth-grade year, right when students are becoming adults. Research shows that most seventeen and eighteen-year-olds are interested in debating critical issues and participating in their own education, rather than listening to a lecture. Podcasting provides a unique opportunity to tap into that interest and give students the chance to be creative. A government classroom could create a weekly podcast with commentary on the subjects they are covering as well as current events that correspond with those subjects. Students could also interview local government leaders or average citizens about political issues.
