Updating the Digital Lexicon
In the document, I edited the terms Diversity and Manipulability. Using the text, I reread the reading to find where Cohen and Rosenzweig mentioned the terms. After reading, I wrote my own definition in the space, using the reading as a guideline.
For Manipulability, however, I decided to take it a step further by embedding the photo Cohen and Rosenzweig used in the reading as an example. By doing so, I feel like it brought the document to another level and the example could better illustrate my definition.
It was difficult to use the HMTL tool, however, as I had to find the image’s url by opening it up in another window on my browser and figuring out how to edit the caption, center the image where I wanted it in the document (it had originally be thrown to the top) and make sure it came up when I was done editing.
Thanks, Caroline. Great use of the Mahlberg image.
Did you write the phrase:
if so, it’s not clear in that quote 13 percent of what.
Also, what are some of the implications — positive and negative — of such a “diversity” of scholars who are currently producing digital history? What about of the “manipulability” of historical data? Is this good, bad, useful, dangerous?
