DH practitioners put digital tools to work in the classroom, in their research, and in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pgcontent\">DH tools and methods are especially powerful in the humanities classroom. DH offers students new points of entry into the humanities and gives them new tools for interrogating sources, evaluating evidence, and forming arguments. DH also invites students to apply a humanistic eye to the world of technology that they\u2019re immersed in, to use those same skills to understand and interact with the digital world in a more informed and ethical way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pgcontent\">The application of those humanistic skills to the digital world is the essential foundation for digital literacy, \u201cthe ability use information and communication technologies to find, evaluate, create, and communicate information, requiring both cognitive and technical skills\u201d (American Library Association). It\u2019s one of many ways that humanities educators can and do prepare students to enter the world as responsible and informed members of society. Digital humanities tools and methodologies offer powerful ways of combining these objectives of humanistic inquiry and digital literacy in mutually reinforcing ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li class=\"pgcontentnarrow\">Digital storytelling provides students with a wide range of tools to create engaging, multimodal, and often interactive narratives. Through tools and methods like data visualization, oral history interviews, and audio-visual production, students can consider how the medium can extend, nuance, or challenge the narrative content. Digital storytelling invites students to recognize themselves as creators and to understand their own stories as part of a broader social fabric.<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edutopia.org\/article\/exercise-digital-storytelling\">See Kimberly Hellerich, \u201cAn Exercise in Digital Storytelling\u201d<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li class=\"pgcontentnarrow\">Annotation assignments (standard fare for humanities courses) ask one thing of a student: curiosity. Annotation can help students identify the familiar and confront the unfamiliar. Students highlight not only what they might think is \u201csignificant\u201d according to perceived scholarly standards, but what they find funny, out of place, interesting, or just plain weird. Digital annotation assignments translate these outcomes into virtual formats, but they also offer benefits of their own, deepening student engagement with sources and sharpening humanities skills. Digital annotation tools require students to attach their observations to specific locations on the document, a process that clarifies the direct links between evidence and argument and distinguishes between observations and inferences. They also facilitate collaborative annotation, so that students can see, build on, and nuance each other\u2019s observations and inferences.<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/teachdh.sdsu.edu\/tools\/digital-annotation\/\">See Chris Werry and Pam Lach, \u201cDigital Annotation\u201d<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li class=\"pgcontentnarrow\">Text analysis is one of the oldest forms of humanistic practice, but new digital tools can perform text analyses on a scale that would be impossible for a human being to achieve. These computationally-enabled forms of text analysis cannot replace traditional forms of practice, but they can complement them, revealing patterns across a single text or across vast corpora of texts that lead to new insights.<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thekeep.eiu.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1108&amp;context=the_councilor\">See Peggy F. Hopper, Lindon Ratliff, and Willie H. Brown, \u201cCross Curriculum Lesson with the Aid of Google\u2019s Ngram\u201d<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pgcontent\">These three methods are by no means an exhaustive list. The National Endowment for the Humanities\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/edsitement.neh.gov\/\">Edsitement website<\/a> offers a robust list of existing resources if you\u2019d like to learn more. But we also hope that you\u2019ll join us in realizing a network of DH-interested educators across metro St. Louis and join a growing community of practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"wp-block-post-template is-layout-flow wp-block-post-template-is-layout-flow\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-316 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-tutorials tag-digital-storytelling tag-field-english tag-field-history tag-level-college tag-level-high-school tag-timelinejs\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iris.siue.edu\/stldigitalhumanities\/2023\/05\/09\/timelinejs-anatomy-of-a-timeline\/\" target=\"_self\" >TimelineJS: Anatomy of a Timeline<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Contributed by Margaret Smith, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville TimelineJS a free, easy to use tool designed for digital storytelling through [&hellip;] <\/p><\/div>\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-311 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-tutorials category-uncategorized tag-ai tag-walkthrough tag-webscraping\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iris.siue.edu\/stldigitalhumanities\/2023\/05\/09\/using-ai-for-webscraping\/\" target=\"_self\" >Using AI for Webscraping<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Contributed by Montaque Reynolds, Saint Louis University I wondered if I could useChatGPT to develop a webscraper for genius.com that [&hellip;] <\/p><\/div>\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-295 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-intros-and-overviews tag-digital-storytelling tag-place-based-storytelling tag-storylinejs tag-storymapjs tag-tableau tag-timelinejs\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iris.siue.edu\/stldigitalhumanities\/2023\/05\/02\/place-based-storytelling\/\" target=\"_self\" >Place-based Storytelling<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Contributed by Margaret Smith, Southern Illinois University EdwardsvilleWritten for the Cleveland Teaching Collaborative While mapping and data visualization require substantially [&hellip;] <\/p><\/div>\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-291 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-intros-and-overviews tag-hypothesis tag-perusall tag-recogito tag-social-annotation\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iris.siue.edu\/stldigitalhumanities\/2023\/05\/02\/social-annotation\/\" target=\"_self\" >Social Annotation<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Contributed by Margaret Smith, Southern Illinois University EdwardsvilleWritten for the Cleveland Teaching Collaborative Hypothesis is a web annotation tool that [&hellip;] <\/p><\/div>\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-289 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-intros-and-overviews tag-digital-storytelling tag-juncture tag-timelinejs tag-twine\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iris.siue.edu\/stldigitalhumanities\/2023\/05\/02\/digital-storytelling\/\" target=\"_self\" >Digital Storytelling<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Contributed by Geremy Carnes, Lindenwood UniversityWritten for the Cleveland Teaching Collaborative Scholars in the humanities know that narratives are powerful.
