I am proposing this one, not volunteering to facilitate. The session needs a blend of old hands and novices to work well. There may be some hierarchy here, but some people know stuff and some people don’t know stuff (yet).

Talk: situate DH as a field. What cool, useful, and brilliant things can you do as a digital humanist? How did you get started? What’s the single best piece of advice that you have for those interested in incorporating insights, tools, and methodologies of the field into their scholarship and teaching practice? If you’re new, why are you interested in DH? What inklings do you have of how it might shape your work or your first project?

Have a favorite digital/content creation tool in your classroom bag?

Need hive-mind level help to address a problem with technology?

Play Tool Tag.

Rules: you have to share or ask, and you have to keep it short.

Share: name the tool, tell us how to get the tool (free is good), explain what it’s good for, share an example (links/sites are great) if you have one. Easy-to-learn tools are best.

Ask: pose a problem. Describe the problem, ask if anyone has a tech tool that kills it instantly or something you think might work but that maybe you don’t enough about to be sure.
