In Tuesday’s class we discussed how sources can be more than just links. It can be images, textbooks, letters, and maps as well. We all also connected on how in order for it to be a digital humanities project they need to have clear sources, process and presentation. And the only way you can find out all of those is doing deep research within the article. From what I learned this past week, I did some research on a sports injury I didn’t believe happened and it then showed clear images on how his hip was fractured. Such as xray images on his hip. In the bigger picture from reading articles online you do not know what is true or false in today’s day and age which is why learning how to find out good sources can play a huge role determining where and when this could have happened and now we have clear evidence to back up the situation. Such as they can display links within the reading that shows another point of view or factual information within the statement made. One question I had was that I didn’t know the difference between the process and the presentation. So I did a little research on my own and figured out the process of how the digital project is created, such as collecting rather than presentation which means how the finished information is displayed to us such readers through graphs, images and many more. In media literacy they used tiktoks for sources on how the media tells us how we should react such as positive, negative or neutral to tiktok. This is more of listing to the videos rather then us trying to find out where and how csn we get to these videos and are they trust worthy sources. We learned how railroads back then had a huge impact on transportation to work and other things. This is big in today’s world because we keep adding train stops because we are building houses with not many roads and people need to get to and from work. They are the same because we all need to get to work somehow. I get the fact that not everything said is true, make sure you break it down and check the three things.
