    This opportunity is offered electronically to gather information on different games that can be used in teaching literature, languages, and writing. Some of the games are not done digitally but others focus around teaching with video games or social networks. Virtual worlds and spatial games (foursquare, geocaching, ect) will also be used as a teaching method. Selection of people who will be asked to present their findings will be based on different styles of classrooms, student experiences, successes, and failures.

JSalem History Mapping students conference

  • John Salem on 12 Nov 12
     
    This brief presentation on the Fifth Annual Graduate Student Conference on World History gives an example of some of the things the field of History is looking to track and how the field is expecting to change. The conference is requesting papers on the topics of cultural mobility, political movements, and networks utilized for the transmission of ideas. More of interest to digital humanists though is the category of Mapping Movements, with an explicit focus on the new technologies and digital humanist methods being developed that can be utilized to assist this process.

    300 students in the UK had the opportunity to learn more about digital skills, such as coding and reporting, away from a classroom setting. They were broken up into small groups and ask to create a report about a certain event. This helped the students collaborate and share their skills in an enviornment they were more comfortable then with students who had similar skills and interests as them.

    This event is promoting digital teaching to show how looking at an object or text digitally can produce different aspects that would not have been found otherwise. Undergrads typically are able to do some work digitally but lack how to interpret it. Through the collaboration with students they are able to build digital artifacts instead of using technology for media purposes only. This event will show students how to build and interpret digital humanities by showing different projects from scholars that are knowledgable in digital humanities

    The purpose of this power point presentation is to provide information on an alternative to XML called "Linked Data." The purpose of linked data is, according to the powerpoint, not to create "data silos" but to connect all these pieces of data together akin to hyperlinking. By digitizing materials in this manner, data can be more readily connected through the use of various identifiers such as Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI).

    This article explains the dispute between Google and publishers here in the United States. As we have seen in class, Google Books offers internet users the ability to search through their database of scanned books. Publishers are fighting that Google is violating copyright laws by scanning these books and letting people have free open access. Although the project itself is causing an uproar, publishers as well as authors are being given the opportunity to decide what books are included in this project.
