I think that a good history website has a combination of both past and present ideologies. Meaning that through the use of past events, one is able to clearly see how a part of history has affected the future through a timeline of events leading up to present day. I also feel that a good history website is able to clearly relay ideas in a way that is both efficient and easy for the user to gain information in a timely fashion. History websites should provide images and other resource links based on a particular topic to allow the users to access a larger amount of information in order to get a better understanding of the past. This website should be clear and organized with tabs to allow easy navigation through the site. A history website must be interactive as engaging in order to be successful.
While I was in HIST 2500: Canadian History, I remember that you had mentioned this new and exciting course. I had always been fascinated with the digital advancements within the world and decided that it would be a cool course to take while finishing up my degree. This course will also help me to develop my technological skills and as I go on to Teachers College, I would be able to use my skills that I learned in this course to help create lesson plans and websites for future students to use.
I will admit that I do not have a lot of experience with web design as well as digitizing, however I hope to sharpen my skills in order to allow me to become more familiar with basic computing skills that I can use in my future endeavours. I’m really excited to learn about virtual reality as well as 3D printing. I have gone to a VR playground earlier this year and I loved it. However, I would really like to learn about the creation of this technology and how it can be used.
