While the digital media were all rather difficult, two digital strategies that I enjoyed using were Audacity and the storymaps. Audacity is a podcast based app… Read more: Final Reflection of Exploring Digital History

What’s important to note is that the peoples that are mostly known… Read more: Cherokee Phoenix and the Trail of Tears

When working on the Data chart for Flourish, I honestly had trouble deciding what to discuss until I settled on the Trail of Tears. Even then, I had some difficulty putting it together due to a lack of clarification on the details of the assignment. I started off by listing the peoples, which I referred… Read more: Trail of Tears Data Flourish

This term I learned to use many different digital tools. There were the ones that I struggled with, however, there were of course the ones I enjoyed learning. I would like to begin with my experience with making items and exhibits on Omeka Metadata. As my Omeka items, I chose a shawl pin of Aymara… Read more: Final Post

Having struggled with last week’s assignment, I tried to expand on my previous attempt at researching Hawaiian newspapers and their coverage of tourism. I tried to find trusted and recent news articles I could access… Read more: Final Post

Flourish was my biggest enemy this term (that I was likely to contend with in the future), so I elected to go back in and make a new Flourish datamap with information from World Population Review. I feel like this one was more of a combination of information from week 6 and week 8 because… Read more: Final Reflections and an Attempt at Flourish

The two games that I am reviewing are The Oregon Trail and When Rivers Were Trails. In comparison, each of these games operates on the Point-and-click gaming style, which involves “moving the mouse pointer to objects and clicking them” (Computer Hope) and they are comprehensive depictions of the lives of indigenous people and other people… Read more: Blog Post 4

A primary source is “a first-hand or contemporary account of an event or topic” (Seton Hall University). Primary sources… Read more: Blog Post 2

https://voyant-tools.org/?panels=cirrus%2Creader%2Ctrends%2Csummary%2Ccontexts&corpus=ad82833646b4e06b42c01c929d8eb02b My research question for this assignment is based on the history of American-centered newspapers that began circulated in Hawaii as settlers became more populous on the island. I wanted to find out how some of the first newspapers of a press company represented Hawaii and its politics, perhaps compared to how Indigenous Hawaiians or… Read more: Voyage Post – Hawaiian Newspapers During Colonization
