Sessions and Ideas
Curating the City
Saturday, January 16th, 2010Our ambition at the Center for Public History + Digital Humanities, and mine particularly as a digital scholar, is to “curate the city,” to organize it as a living museum exhibition, understood in the broadest terms. (My colleague Mark Souther and I have written an essay that we are about to submit on this question.) [...]
Teaching Regional History Digitally
Friday, January 15th, 2010We (in Cleveland State University’s History Department and the Center for Public History + Digital Humanities) have developed Teaching & Learning Cleveland as a way to transform the region into a learning laboratory for upper-level university courses, as well as regional K-12 classrooms. We use Omeka as the basis for our collecting, archiving, research, and [...]
Questions – what are degrees about?
Friday, January 15th, 2010THATCAMP Is education simply for education’s sake? Is the new master’s degree the old bachelor’s degree? Why pursue a PH.D?
Google Wave for the classroom and Foreign Langauge Learners
Friday, January 15th, 2010I’ll be discussing and demonstarting Google Wave as an instructional tool using a Wave constructed from two lesson plans and integrating a variety of widgets and gadgets.
The Perils of Digitization: Google Research Centers
Friday, January 15th, 2010One last thought as I dash to CSC: I’m interested in a panel about the incipient formation of the Google Research Centers, both how wonderful it is that scholars will be given the opportunity to do “nonconsumptive” reading of copyrighted texts (aka datamining) and how hard it will be for those scholars who are not [...]
Session clarification
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Posted a rough idea for a couple possibilities earlier. Now that I’ve gotten some feedback here’s what I’ll focus on. Over the summer, Amazon deleted copies of 1984 and Animal Farm from Kindle owners with no prior warning. Though Amazon apologized for the incident and said this would not happen again, the fact that it [...]
How do we share our knowledge of historic places?
Thursday, January 14th, 2010How do scholars, activists, tourists, neighbors, city planners, and preservationists find and share information about historic places in their communities, in their cities, and in their regions? How do they identify relationships between places or understand the context within such places were constructed, occupied, or even destroyed? In most cases, anyone interested in these questions [...]
Translating Hands-on Activities to the Virtual World
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Through the Buckeye Council for History Education we are going to be taking our K-12 teacher professional development seminars and modifying them for a webinar format. One of the most successful aspects of our PD are our primary source activities. The PSAs are engaging and interactive, requiring the teachers to do primary source interpretation in small [...]
Digital Resources Outside the System!
Thursday, January 14th, 2010In my day job at the Ohio Historical Society I spend a lot of time working with online collections systems (primarily CONTENTdm). However, most of these systems come “pre-staged” with a particular look and feel and set of behaviors. These days, we want the ability to work with our digital treasures outside of their prefabricated [...]
MacGyver-ing History: building online community history with only the tools available
Thursday, January 14th, 2010I’d like to to talk about building an online local history collection of audio and video interviews, photos, written narratives, recipes, records, etc. What is doable when there’s lots of interest but no budget or time, tech resources and skills are limited, and people are geographically dispersed?
