Learning Online | History...Digitally Remastered
https://terranfader.wordpress.com/2010/11/16/learning-online
November 16, 2010. So it seems that some people believe that learning is moving towards being web-based instead of classroom based. For example, MG Siegler discusses Bill Gates thoughts on this here. I can definitely see a shift towards this. As my undergraduate career progressed I found myself taking more and more online courses. They offer a convenience factor for sure, but you definitely have to be able to motivate yourself. If part of the class was performed on-line, it would allow students to intera...

Laquo; Moustache from the Past. 8220;Reel Injun”. How this historian got to training. November 23, 2010 by kiraw. When it came time to enroll in university, I tossed around a number of different ideas, including the veterinary program at Guelph (can you imagine? 8220;if every child followed their adolescent aspirations, the world would be populated with archaeologists, paleontologists, and professional athletes.” Feels pretty good to be one of those people who stuck with it to the end.

Monday, November 14, 2011. A Day in the Life. So, I am pretty far into my experience here in Morogoro and I thought I would share what my typical day looked like for all you people back home (who have probably started scraping the frost from your windows in the morning on your way to school and work). 8221; or “Habari za asibuhi?

How I Met Clio | A Student’s Thinking About the Past, Present, and Future of History

A Student’s Thinking About the Past, Present, and Future of History. Just another WordPress.com site. New Tools, But What For? Pipes: Everyone His/Her Own Plumber →. How I Met Clio. November 23, 2010. Then, in fourth grade, I learned something startling, though not shattering. I had been instructed to choose from what seemed like a collection of hefty tomes a book with which to while away the silent reading period. Probably because of the attractive cover, I chose Wesley Turner’s. Over the next several y...

Exploring new approaches to old things. April 9, 2011. 8220;Evolving” at Canada’s History and the CMA. Anyone who has gone through this Public History program can probably relate to how I feel right now. With just 3 weeks left in the term, there is SO much work still to be done. Yet, it’s very hard to focus on school because I’m much more excited and interested in the next part of the program. Feb/March Issue of Canada’s History Magazine. 2 I’ll be working with.

Snow Day | Historian in Training
https://kiraw1.wordpress.com/2010/12/08/snow-day
Laquo; “Reel Injun”. December 8, 2010 by kiraw. Cooped up inside for the past two days with only my beta fish Brusilov for company (named after WWI Russian general Aleksei Brusilov. For anyone who’s interested), I’ve had a lot of random thoughts. None of them ended up forming a very digital-ish blog, and the topic of gaming has I think been utterly lost on me. So if this blog post is about the snow, and if it’s going nowhere fast or coherently, I blame the cabin fever. When the city received a record 28cm.

The Public Schmistorian: "Sally has died from dysentry"
http://publicschmistorian.blogspot.com/2010/12/sally-has-died-of-dysentry.html
More history, less schmistory. Wednesday, December 1, 2010. Sally has died from dysentry". My parents were against video games. Fortunately neither my brother nor I were all too interested in them either but reading the articles for this week's class on the subject of game-centred play and my classmates blog posts, I am impressed with how much of an impact these games have had. Stinkabod Lamé, a four-armed, scottish-accented techno whiz named. Yendor Talbneerg, and their leader, the exiled princess.

My experience with Wikipedia | History...Digitally Remastered
https://terranfader.wordpress.com/2010/11/09/my-experience-with-wikipedia
My experience with Wikipedia. November 9, 2010. There, I said it and now it’s out in the open. Feel free to disagree with me later. I have no doubt that there are some inherent problems with Wikipedia. Anything that allows for anyone’s participation will experience vandalism and trouble-makers. It comes down to whether these people are enough to ruin it for everyone else. Wikipedia and the Future of the Past”. The problem is that not everyone follows this policy. Beyond that, for us public historians, Wi...

The incredible accuracy of muskets | History...Digitally Remastered
https://terranfader.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/the-incredible-accuracy-of-muskets
The incredible accuracy of muskets. November 30, 2010. This week we are talking about history games. I had a quick thought about their possibilities. I bring up this aside to point out how refreshing it was when watching something, possibly The Patriot, to hear my boyfriend say how that was not true. How did he know this? I’m not advocating that people should learn their history from video games. I do however think that if putting someone in a virtual environment show them things that other pop...As we h...

The Public Schmistorian: Dali's Surreal Stache
http://publicschmistorian.blogspot.com/2010/11/dalis-surreal-stache.html
More history, less schmistory. Sunday, November 21, 2010. Since my attempts to grow my own mustache have, sadly, all but failed I thought I would follow my classmates' lead and write a profile of a famous hairy-lipped figure from history. When I think of unique mustaches, one of the first people who comes to mind is Salvador Dali; apparently I am not the only one as a recent poll. Dali moved to Madrid in 1922 in order to study art at the Academia de San Fernando. It was here that he began experimenti...
