Here is the report on using digital images in teaching that Ken mention in his presentation.
Here is the History Matters oral history module I mentioned during James’ presentation.
Here is the Historical Event Markup and Linking Project I mentioned (I picked a Bohemian history example).
And for only $150 you too can own a piece of the treasure from the SS Central America (sorry Kurt!).
To help everyone remember what you presented tonight, please write up a 2-3 paragraph summary of your final project and post it here. And, as you think of other suggestions for your colleagues, offer those as comments.
The Center for History and New Media has just posted up the Beta version of Zotero, a browser-based citation management system (a la EndNote). It is (of course) free and very powerful–and promises to get more powerful as new features are added–like citation sharing. You need to run Firefox 2.0 (which is also in Beta), but I’ve been using Zotero for a couple of weeks now and already can’t live without it. Download it and give it a try.
Hi all:
Remember–no class on Tuesday (since it’s a Monday at GMU).
Bill Turkel at the University of West Ontario has posted a link in his blog that makes it possible for the grad students in his digital history seminar, as well as those in Clio Wired here at GMU, to see what everyone is up to. Our class blog is linked as well, so go to their pages when you have a chance and see what these other students are up to. And while you’re there, leave a comment on someone’s post and maybe even make a new friend or colleague.
Enjoy the rain!
The AHA has changed its links for Cutler’s and Kelly’s course portfolios.

Hi all:
In the interest of improving the readability of our blog, I’d like to suggest that when writing a longer post, you split the post using the “more” tag. On the formatting bar in the “write post” box, it is the icon that looks like a divided box between the tree-like icon and the undo icon.
So, for instance, I edited Susan’s post just below this one and pushed about two-thirds of the text off to the “more” part of the blog. In this way readers can scroll down through the openings of our posts and then decide which ones to consume at length on the first time through.
Also, please try to remember to categorize your posts both by your name and by the week’s topic (where applicable).
See you all on Tuesday…
Hi all:
It’s not often that we actually get to see an incident of vandalism in the Wikipedia. Today was my lucky day. Read all about it in my blog.
See you in a bit.
Hi:
Here’s a link to Dennis Jacob’s course portfolio for the Chemistry course at Notre Dame I mentioned. I tried to find a link to the interview with the Stanford biologist, but that no longer seems to be up online.
See you tomorrow.
