Corrections and other stuff

I’m working on those website corrections. Fun stuff.
Actually, what’s more fun– and I’m betting this is the group that would be interested in this (being a little geeky and good-oriented): I was driving around Fredericksburg today (I was either on Stafford St. or on Augustine St. can’t remember) and saw the google [...]

UNofficial reflections

Okay– so (OF COURSE) I went over the allowed word count!
But I have some thought about the future of this class, history at mary washington,  and the topic of digitial history that I thought might be good to post.  I’m guessing this is going to be a part of what we will talk about on [...]

Official Reflections on Digital History

During one of our Thursday presentations, the “Alumni Group” was asked a question about how, on our contract, we divided and set deadlines for the work we had to do on our project.  At the time, I didn’t think that was such a big deal- I assumed that each group member would contribute pretty much [...]

Done!

Done, D-done, done-y, da-da-da-done…

- Profiles: We’re missing some information.
- Polishing the site: Go through and make edits, make sure all links [...]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!  I never got that out here…  My 485 rough draft is done and turned in.  Don’t worry, I did it Monday, but didn’t feel the need to update everyone until now.  And only now since I am giving a project update anyway.  So it’s done.  Hopefully Dr. Hudgins doesn’t make me change anything for [...]

Impact of Digital on History

In reading Christopher Miller’s article “Strange Facts in the History Classroom: Or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Lobe the Wiki(pedia),” I immediately thought about the discussion we had a few weeks ago (months ago?) where we talked about our own opinions of how to incorporate Wikipedia into academic research. During that discussion, we [...]

Well, today is really our first deadline- we’re supposed to have the articles scanned/uploaded to omeka. Hmmm…. deadline: “a line beyond which you die”. Who died? We also made some other deadlines on our google calander. We’ll see how thhhhhaaaat goes.
I’ve got my Bullet articles done, but now [...]
