UH - Digital History Add some #digitalhistory to your class | Stillwater Historians It’s the first week the semester up here in the snowy north and classes are underway. I’m teaching four this semester: two are small, great books courses in the Honors College and two are larger, focused on the state and cover a range of topics. This week I talked about the Aeneid, Nietzsche’s “Truth and Lies in an Extra-Moral Sense” and Maine’s open land tradition and it’s only Thursday! Next week it will be Zimbardo, Weber, more Aeneid, and Maine geology. I use lots of examples and show students lots of visuals in my History, Sociology, Honors and Maine Studies courses and I am always on the lookout for interesting ideas and new ways to present information. I really like having students think through the use of “tools.” In honor of January being Digital Humanities Month here at Stillwater Historians I thought I would share a few examples of digital work that I introduce my students to and find particularly useful in a range of classes. 1. 2. 3.
