    As a whole, I think our project went well. We were able to successfully complete our sort of “experiment” and presented the information on the site in a somewhat organized manner. But, there were a few aspects of our project that did not go according to our plan. The first and largest one being the……

  • Key Changes for Historians

    As the digital age has continued to evolve and grow, the biggest change to the history field, in my opinion, is how much more accessible everything is now. Primary source archives, scholarly publications, and more, are easily available online now. Granted, not everything — or even half of everything — out there is digitized, but……

  • Five Lessons on Digital Identity

    ONE: The first website I chose to explore was Digital Tattoo, specifically a page about the digital divide which allows you to answer various questions about your own digital usage and accessibility before it provides you with some information about others. So, although it may seem obvious, the first lesson I learned was that not……

  • Wikipedia and Creative Commons

    When exploring Wikipedia pages, the “Talk” tab is something that stood out as particularly interesting to me. This is not something I was aware of before this assignment and I had no idea that anything like this existed. I’m still not exactly sure why this is something that is available since most of the problems/revisions……

    I was in charge of editing our video. I have edited videos plenty of times before with no issues — primarily on iMovie and Canva. Since the video was fairly short, I didn’t need to do much other than clipping off a few seconds at the beginning and end so I decided to try and……

  • Creating a Map and a Timeline

    Before I started making the map, I was really set on the idea of creating a Lord of the Rings/Middle Earth theme where I could map Frodo’s journey or something similar. But, it proved to be immensely difficult to insert your own map into the StoryMapJS program. I looked online (for a long time) and……

    The first project I decided to check out was the September 11th Digital Archive. Out of the categories outlined on the JAH page, this site can obviously be categorized as an archive. The second project I decided to look at was The Lost and Found Archive Project. This would be another example of an online……

  • AI Assignment

    For this assignment, I used Google Gemini and asked it to generate an essay and image related to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The essay itself wasn’t bad, and ended up being slightly longer than two pages, but it was also very general. Normally for a paper that is so short, the topic would have……

    During our meeting, we officially assigned tasks to each person and discussed the what our goals were for the final project. We decided to test/use different AI models for three different tasks: transcription, meta data collection, and an expert chatbot (on one subject). As of right now Connor will be working on transcription with Google……
