Teaching in the Digital Tornado - 1 views

  •  
    To prepare for a digital discussion Sean Morris gathered information containing education technology that shows new ways to communicate and new organizational tools. In the beginning of his teaching career him and a coworker created a paperless class that forced students to turn in assignments online; eventually turning it into a fully online course. Educational technology classrooms are created worldwide to use new modern ways to teach. Through online learning, students can use smaller parts to create a bigger picture which are then small parts for the collaboration of all the students work that is brought together. He leaves the readers with many questions about how to make the information accessible and accurate across the internet.

One of the projects called "What's on the Menu" releases digitzed menus of restaurants, even of menus that are not used anymore by the service industry. At one point only a few could actually look at the hard copy collections of these menus, but now over 8,700 are digitally released in only four months. Sharing any information, even restaurant menus, help people across the nation. "What's on the Menu" has already been used by famous chefs such as Mario Batali and even stretches to fourth grade class projects studying food and exercise.

Is the Digital Humanities a hot, sellable commodity? Or a place for counter hegemonic c... - 1 views

  •  
    This article highlights three large uncertainties of the Micha Cardenas about the digital humanities: is queer new media rare or is analysis of it rare, if there is something "conservative, even sellable" that is present in the digital humanities, and can queer theory, new media, or the digital humanities "disturb hegemonic systems." Although the article does not answer any of these questions, it discusses the history of Queer Theory as "hip, trendy," and its potential reflection in the digital humanities. These questions also arise out of a concern that discussions in digital humanities, particularly CCS, "can run down a road that is very conservative."
