After reviewing the syllabus and getting a feel for the different kinds of assignments we will be doing, I have found what I find sounds the most interesting and engaging for me.
I am really looking forward to our readings on the topic of ethics of representation. I am really looking forward to this because ethics is something that is very important to recognize and understand in any field but especially in a field like digital humanities.
Another topic that stood out to me was digitization. This can really tie into being a history major and digitizing different kinds of documents, but ain’t also sounds interesting because it says we’re going to be doing an activity about digitization and cultural heritage which sounds really interesting.
The final thing that peaked my interest were the weeks when we talk about maps and the weeks we talk about digital storytelling. I’m in school to become a historian so learning about maps is obviously gong to peak my interest, but digital storytelling is probably what I am most excited about. I like digital storytelling and the different elements that go into it because I feel like you can convey a lot of different messages through digital storytelling.
