What Did I Learn from Week 9?

What Did I Learn from Week 9?

I present this week for class! I am a bit nervous, but at least this week’s readings relate to stuff that I will probably see again when I go to law school.

Anyway, the first reading was titled, “Owning the Past.” This reading was about protecting your work. There are many copyright laws and they should not be taken lightly because no one wants to get sued. Even if you believe the odds of that…

Reflective Essay

#ULLHist451

I am pleased with my overall product, but not for reasons people may think. I am just thankful my thoughts were able to be made into something other people could actually utilize. I originally was going to use Omeka for my semester long project, but what changed my mind was the week of student digital tool presentations. I remember one student had storymap as a tool to present and the example…

Vermilionville (Physical Public History Site Write-Up)

#ULLHist451

For my physical history site, I chose Vermilionville, a living history museum in Lafayette, Louisiana. I actually visited when I was younger, but everything seemed so different recently. I actually thought it was super huge when I was younger, and it’s not super tiny now, but being older and exploring on my own made the experience completely different. I was about 7 when I visited and it was one…

#ULLHist451 This week's readings were mostly about creating a site on Omeka. It wasn't just about it was actually showing you how to get a site up and running which is the title of the first reading, "Up and Running with Omeka.net" We've been talking about it in class for a long time, but actually seeing a sight about how to start my site was really cool.

#ULLHist451 I love music! I am a Jazz musician, singer, and member of my university's marching band. I sort of knew from the very beginning that my project would be about something pertaining to music.

What did I Learn from Week 7?

#ULLHist451

I cannot believe this is week 7! I am amazed at how fast time is moving. 😦 Well, things are still moving along and it’s so surprise that I’m starting to feel pressures of being a senior. Anyway, let’s talk about the readings for my history course.

The first reading “Becoming Digital Public Historians,” really inspired me because I loved how Mr. Owen mentioned that the students had lives outside…

What did I get from week 5?

#ULLHist451

This week has been insane, but next week I get to try and use the new schedule I created to help me get these blogs out early.

Anyway, in regard to what’s actually important, this week’s reading for History 451, I decided to read them out of order. The seond reading was  super long, but it did hold some valuable information. Its main topic was crowdsourcing. I had never heard of that term, but I…

What Did I Learn from Week 3?

#ULLHist451

The first reading, “Guidelines for the Professional Evaluation of Digital Scholarship by Historians,” leads to the second reading. It explains how evaluations happen in regard to Digital scholarship by historians. One important line, although at the beginning of the reading states,”Historical scholarship is, of course, already digital in many ways. Historians conduct research in digital…
