The foundation of digital humanities seems to be around theoretical work in that it's not necessarily real life, but based on theory and ideas.

From my understanding, academia is thoroughly interested in the understanding of DH its progressiveness. Although their are concerns, in terms of cultural aspects, there are processes that can support that ingoing collaboration and work that can work alongside the DH work.

Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism or other supernatural beliefs, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good. – American Humanist Association

Humanists is based on a combination of theory and beliefs and paves the way to live through life to be better a better person.

Metis, one of the three indigenous groups in Canada could really benefit from a Story Map of some kind. Many Metis originated from the Red River Settlement, but ended up migrating into areas of Northern, BC and across the homeland. Would be interesting to see the Storymap behind the migration and where folks ended up.

Some suggestions in how it applies to us could be the use of medical records to look at the intergenerational differences of how society has changed over time.

I like to explanation that digital humanities is the use of tools and technologies to answer traditional humanities questions such as who are we? It involves the emergence of new technologies and how they influence us, and society. How it sets us up to the future.

Understanding Chronology is complex. I think Chronology has been used for many purposes, including dating important periods of history. This, in turn, all creates who and what we are today. By going through chronology, we understand the important dates in time dating back to many many centuries.

I giggled reading this statement as this was probably one of the first diagrams I learned in early years. the "timeline". Timelines are a great visual and graphic representation because you can simplify them or change them to however you like.

I would definitely say it's one of the most important tools for organizing information, today. I think there has been a ton of advancement in technology to get to this point so why has little been written about historical charts and diagrams? I wonder what tools can be used to create historical documents relating back to the development of graphic reprentation.

I wonder how someone who does suffer with clinical depression would feel with this game?

These are great for all kinds of activities, such as movement, mindfulness, and relaxation. Only thing about Virtual is that children under a certain age shouldn't use them.

Interesting when "gaming" became a thing and some games were "popular" They quickly were replaced by new up and coming games. Now, those previously popular games are making a comeback!

Gaming has moved from the historical "console" of Xbox or PlayStation. Now many people consider gaming on any device, really. Some examples include Xbox, computer, phone, or Switch can be removed from the console and act as a remote controller.

Modern advancement related to technologies, has moved quite quickly. Just to think of platforms such as AI, and the information needed to gather in order to make this exist.<br /> I don't doubt there is a large history of events documents, but as things evolve, so will technologies at a quicker rate.

Distant reading is starting to make a lot more sense to me. Although, I feel to some extent the objective is to be able to read more without actually reading the context. Probably for some it means working smarter not harder. I wonder if this could potentially miss important pieces to the reading.

This is really interesting! Honestly, as a student I wasn't aware of this software prior to last semester. I feel as though I was living under a rock. A student was caught plagiarizing on their exam and their answers were clearly pulled from using this tool.

or very similar to ChatGPT, something we used for this weeks' exercise.

At first I thought Distant Reading included the concept of almost reading between the lines or having a view from afar, like reading something and having a complety different understanding. I'm interested to know how to better understand how to analyze larger amounts of data pulled from distant reading.

I was curious as to why the word "Indians" was nearly removed from vocabulary. To find out, it was very similar to assimilation efforts completed in Canada. Teddy Roosevelt took land away from rightful owners and wanted American Natives to be otherwise known as "white man"

The fact Metadata can be used in many different platforms such as email, word document, paper files is great. The concept is fairly straightforward after viewing the way Metadata is collected. Of course, it'll look different with each platform.

I find myself a visual learner and seeing what Metadata is through this article made it a lot easier to understand. When i was reading through this week's objectives, i was concerned with the concept because i had never heard of it.

This is a great idea for our project! I love the idea of a digital book.

As an example, Telehealth is a platform that connects the unattached patient to a healthcare provider. In the North, we have the Northern Virtual Clinic that's run by Northern Health.

There are so many benefits to global digital projects! The more I read up on this area of work, the more I realize how important this concept is. For example, when I think about research, although research does often include individual, local or regional studies, it also includes global studies. There are many barriers, such as financial implications that could get in the way. If research can transition to a digital approach, that could eliminate some of those barriers. That being said, there are some cultures that require an in-person approach based off past traumas and cultural protocols that should be respected. there is also something to say about in-person communication when connecting in with different peoples.

The fact that digital books are becoming more norm, is fascinating. It offers real-time analogue without having to actually be in the space! I have not heard of the Apartheid Heritage until now.

I would also have to say that DH has to involve research in some way. As we continue to evolve in field of DH, we're learning but also experimenting with previous projects that have been completed or already in-progress.
