Audit #2
Course Reflection This course was a challenge for me. I had a bit of a rough start because I had travel challenges getting back to school for winter semester and so was late starting course work. It definitely took a while for me to find my footing as far as understanding expectations or even knowing…

Reflecting on Digital Humanities and Embedded Flaws
Well, some of the articles I found incredibly dry while others I kept going down rabbit holes! So much interesting material. There were a few ideas that really stood out to me. First of all, how much we come to trust and rely on digital tools such as browsers. Though if I stop and think…

Journey to Prince George
This was a fun project and, at the time that I am writing this, I have not run into any difficulties which I think is a first. I clicked the right buttons and quickly figured out to how to upload files and add text. I also realized that I could show my journey on the…

4- H Timeline

I just kept getting an error message. Creating the timeline itself went with only a few small hitches. I took a minute to figure out how to edit the timeline and then…

Course Audit #1
Thank goodness we are more than halfway through this semester. I have to admit that this has not been my best class. I have really struggled with the entirely asynchronous arrangement. In many ways it is very convenient, but it also becomes difficult to prioritize (or even remember) my work in this class. Online is…

Twine Adventure
I found that twine was pretty easy to use. Once I figured out how to link the pages it was a breeze. I choose to write about when my mom was attacked by a bear in 2016. There were a lot of people who played different roles and who knew different things at different times.…

Mapping Hope
Climate change is no longer a theoretical disaster looming in the distance, but crashing down upon us. Records are breaking over and over with the extreme heat, drought, and wildfires we are experiencing around the globe and there are reports of early signs of current collapses in our oceans. Meanwhile, governments continue to support the…

Not My Favourite
I was very uncertain about this assignment. Though I am curious about what AI can manage when it comes to creative writing, I am very much opposed to AI being used in this way for creative work. Nevertheless, I decided to give it a try using the recommended Copilot. My first prompt was “Can you…

“whichotherwasmotoristwhyit…” um…pardon?
This was actually a pretty fun exercise and I got a couple laughs out of it. Maybe someone is trying to make up for the tears in previous weeks…? Whatever the reason, I had a good time testing out the capabilities (and limits) of the the OCR app I used. I read through the article…

Improvement? Hopefully? Maybe?
Well, I do at least feel like I am getting a better handle on how to navigate the sites we are using in this course. I would say that my Omeka work this week went much more smoothly than it did last week. So smoothy I am afraid I’ve missed something… I did have some…
