So: the Internet. It\u2019s kind of a thing, and it doesn\u2019t appear to be going away. There are many things that are important about the Internet, but here are two that are germane for our class.<\/p>\n
For these reasons, learning how to make use of the Internet is important for the study of the digital humanities. You of course know how to use the Internet for finding information, but you will now get some experience creating information: about yourself and your investigation of the digital humanities.<\/p>\n
I have three goals related to digital humanities in asking you to build your own website:<\/p>\n
As for the writing side of things, I want you to see creating your own website as a chance to write yourself into the world. Deciding how to rhetorically position yourself in relation to your studies and your career goals is important. This is a chance to take a first stab at this process; it\u2019s also why I\u2019m asking you to consider selecting a domain name that is somehow related to your own name.<\/p>\n

Title the file \u201clast name\u201d-website reflection (e.g. croxall-website reflection.pdf). Due 5pm on 3 October.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Each of the requirements for this assignment will be graded as pass\/fail. If you complete a requirement on time, you will receive 5 points. Completing all ten of them on time nets a total of 50 points.<\/p>\n For 5 extra-credit points, create a second<\/em> subdomain and map it to Tumblr<\/a>. Send me the URL. Due 5pm on 10 October.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rationale So: the Internet. It\u2019s kind of a thing, and it doesn\u2019t appear to be going away.
