From learning how to blog, to practicing code, this course has introduced many of us, including myself, to new technology that improves exhibit success. Both the SMART Board presentat...

History Bytes: October 2007
http://samanthadiamond.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 4, 2007. Weltner’s ‘Scholarly’ Site. A little voice inside of me cries ranking order, TEI, xml vs. html vs. xhtml? Although ignorance is bliss, I am happy that this course has forced me to realize (although I'm still stuck in a fuzzy stage) how everything works. One of my best friends sent me this email today and I thought it was a great example of everything we have been discussing in class. The email describes the racist web-site www.Jewwatch.com. Http:/ www.jewwatch.com/. Is the whol...

Nana Robinette - Public History 2007/2008. Monday, March 24, 2008. Interactive Elements at the DIA. Recently, I travelled to Detroit, Michigan to go to the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). There were specific parts of the gallery I was extremely excited to see, such as Julie Mehretu’s exhibit City Sitings. And Whistler’s Nocturne in Black and Gold, the Falling Rocket. One specific interactive element took 18. Century European porcelain and dinnerware (a boring subject for many school a. Throughout the ga...

http://nanarobinette.blogspot.com/2008/01/ps-i-love-cardigan-sweaters.html
Nana Robinette - Public History 2007/2008. Friday, January 4, 2008. PS - I love cardigan sweaters! Over the holiday break, I had access to my family car, which resulted in numerous long trips to. And unnecessary shopping. Fortunately, it also allowed me more time to listen to CBC radio. Although I often listen to CBC radio at home, it is never for a substantial length of time. This break, I was pleased to notice that the CBC was making great use of its archival hol. Ent, rare moments in time. My sister a...

Nana Robinette - Public History 2007/2008. Tuesday, February 19, 2008. Blog Poll - Which Museum would you visit? Free Poll by Blog Flux. I am still not sure if this blog poll is going to work or not. I spent the morning trying different polling sites, all of which were easy, straightforward and provided the HTML code for my poll. Each time, I would transfer the HTML into my blog and, surprisingly, it worked. kind of! On a side note, I tried the blogger poll option. This specific poll is 'Blogflux'. Sierr...

History Bytes: January 2008
http://samanthadiamond.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 15, 2008. Can you spot a fake? Many of us have received emails that have been digitally manipulated to create humour. This doctored photo of Tom Cruise is a personal favourite of mine. Many altered photos, however, can be more serious than Cruise's fictitious turn towards sanity. Altering pictures is not something new, or unique to digital photographs. Throughout history traditional photographs have been changed for many reasons. Many people alter photos for political and histori...Also,...
