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 “street view” […]

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 […]

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 […]

What do we do? – Timeline: I can’t get videos to work, can anybody else? – Profiles: We’re missing some information. – Polishing the site: Go through and make edits, make sure […]

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.

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.

Three posts today?? Well, yes. But only to say that I’m back in the history game. I have a much better attitude now. All it takes is some college basketball games on tv. Also, just wanted another update to say that I’ve put more on the “about” page. And since I’ve done that, I responded […]
