I’d like to run a lightning presentation on a digital history crowdsourcing project I’ve worked on over the summer. It uses Ushahidi to accept submissions (via SMS and other media) about local history.

The website is www.heritagecrowd.org and I’d like to use it in the presentation!

Dear all,

It’s my first ThatCamp – frankly I feel rather overwhelmed but will try to experience as much as I can, including this dork short presentation. Here is the link for my on-going work on Social Network Analysis and Literary Communities in the Late 18th century Seoul, Korea.

Hi! I’d love to do a lightning presentation on my Associative Glossary. This custom-coded web-based tool dynamically displays related ideas/demographics/events, people and corresponding time periods. I initially developed this to organize information about the history of early modern physics, but it could be applied to any historical or literary data set.

A work-in-progress example can be found here:

We’d like to present our “Participatory Cataloging” project from the WGBH Media Library and Archives. We are looking for scholars to make use of our material and contribute metadata to our catalog through tagging, note-taking and publication.

I have a Roman History assignment (rap video on the life of Caesar) that I’ve found to be very effective in a survey course. The video (and rap) are the culmination of a project that involves a lot of reading/writing assignments.

Lightning, as in “quick burst of light and energy” or Lightening, as in “makes your burden less heavy”? The word play is making me smile. I guess it can be both…
