In any case, a working example of that is here. I also built another version using URL parameters and PHP but may not have written the blog post. I’d previously done some work that would take WordPress JSON API data and insert it into the Timeline JS view.A blog post on how that works is via Google Sheets is here. It’s a nice way to create multimedia timelines. Then the explanation of why becomes an interesting conversation- especially when comparing the two.īackground I like Timeline JS. Students would falsely elevate the number of words to make them larger regardless of occurrence. Do the big words matter? Are the “big words” shared between poems, across authors? Does it matter? Where things could get interesting is creating fake Wordles that do represent the words you think matter mostOddly, most of my favorite lessons involve faking data, rap, animal attacks or, hopefully, all three. Then you could sort them by author or genre and do a surface analysis.

Now, if I had a classor more free time I’d get a bunch of these done for a number of poems from the same author and probably the same genre.
WAVESURFER JS CODE
Add your own wordle poem if you’d like (the css in the embed code will likely mess things up temporarily but I’ll fix it). So after messing around with it some the other day and seeing some interest from a few people who put in their own poems- I decided to see what other poems might be on there and see if I couldn’t display them in an interesting way. Well, you know how I love Exhibit and I’m also a poetry fan.

This kind of thing would be pretty easy to turn into a plugin. It’s also looking like I’ll be able to work more with our music department to think through online course on music so possibilities like this will be very useful. Playing with it gave me all sorts of ideas (including possibly using it as part of of the upcoming Reclaim Your Dance Party // API + Audio = (beats, visuals, internet, participate) session at Domains 17 with Grant and Brian). You could get more and more complex from there. If we stacked several tracks vertically the visuals would quickly point out content variation in terms of timing and total composition. I find the ability to highlight track elements visually and access specific segments to be a pretty powerful combination. I found WaveSurfer.js this morning and just a bit later I had a functional example. In this case, it’s meant to provide a visual and auditory way to play through interview segments that represent different categories of responses. I needed to make a quick proof of concept for the annotation of audio on the web. See the Pen wave surfer – waveform by Tom ( on CodePen.
