Anyone who has ever done a programming course or tried to learn to code out of a book will have come across sorting algorithms. Bubble, heap, merge, there’s a long list of these methods of sorting data. The subject matter is fairly dry, and is usually presented in a prety boring way. Sorting algorithms: quite boring until you add sound effects page shows that someone has found a way to not only make sorting more interesting, but easier to remember and understand too. All it took was a bit of visualization and some sound effects. Here is one video. You can find more at Sorting algorithms: quite boring until you add sound effects web page.
It’s interesting to find how challenging the content side is for some
Sorting algorithms as dances
http://www.i-programmer.info/news/150-training-a-education/2255-sorting-algorithms-as-dances.html
Take one Central European folk dancing team, a small folk band and an added overlay showing array locations and get them to dance the algorithms in time to “appropriate” folk music. The result is slightly surreal and for a time at least slightly hypnotic.
Can’t make a decision which need can be much more important: peeing or even having casino chips.
