What are digital skills that you feel students should learn while in college? Are there best practices you would suggest to teach and reinforce these skills in the classroom? When thinking about digital literacy, consider not only the research-focused work you do as digital fellows, but also broader concepts like privacy on the Internet, establishing an online presence, and the &#8220;fake news&#8221; phenomenon.<\/p>\n<h4>Blog Post #2 &#8211; Due 4\/19<\/h4>\n<p>This year\u2019s Day of Digital Humanities is Thursday, April 20. This project started a few years ago to document the work that digital humanists do on a \u201cnormal\u201d day. It\u2019s grown into a sort of advocacy day for the work of digital humanists. You can see the website here: <a href=\"http:\/\/dayofdh2017.linhd.es\/\">http:\/\/dayofdh2017.linhd.es\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What I\u2019d like to do is collect some thoughts of various Gettysburg College students, faculty, and staff about DH, and then post them on the library\u2019s website. If you would be willing to write a short piece related to your thoughts and\/or work with the digital humanities, that would be great! There are two options I will propose, but if you&#8217;re interested, you\u00a0could talk about conferences\/workshops you\u2019ve attended, projects you\u2019ve worked on, a digital project you think is really cool, etc. You can be as brief or wordy as you choose.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Define Digital Humanities \u2013 \u201cDigital humanities is \u2026\u201d<\/li>\n<li>How do the digital humanities support\/inform your teaching and\/or research?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h3>Digital Tool Tutorial (Due 5\/1\/17)<\/h3>\n<p>Fellows will create a digital tool tutorial or guide that shows how to effectively use a tool in a digital scholarship project. Depending on the scope of the tool selected, either a general overview can be provided, or assistance with a specific aspect of the tool can be covered. The cohort of Fellows may elect to collaborate on one digital tool to create a more comprehensive guide.<\/p>\n<p>Fellows are encouraged to create guides that provide a level of interactivity or multimedia engagement, such as videos or websites. Educational Technology can assist with supporting the creation of these guides.<\/p>\n<h5>Suggested Digital Tools to Document<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Scalar (either individual components, or as part of a larger overview)<\/li>\n<li>TimelineJS<\/li>\n<li>StoryMapJS (especially the Gigapixel map feature)<\/li>\n<li>Esri Story Maps<\/li>\n<li>Voyant Tools<\/li>\n<li>Omeka<\/li>\n<li>Neatline<\/li>\n<li>Google Tour Builder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Readings and Activities Dates listed are the weekly check-ins.
