<p>Dear students.</p>
<p>My apologies for the late News update. This week is your second consolidation week, with a graded consolidation reflection due at the end of the week. See <a href="/Crafting%20Digital%20History/4.%20Assessment/3%20Consolidation%20Reflection" title="3 Consolidation Reflection">3 Consolidation Reflection</a> and <a href="/Crafting%20Digital%20History/2.%20Schedule/Module%202%20Wrangling%20&#x26;%20Critiquing/Week%2010" title="Week 10">Week 10</a> for instructions. Throughout this course, thus far, we have explored various topics and themes in the production of Digital History. Specifically, each week, the central thrust has focused on creating your personal knowledge management system or an Open-Access Notebook published online. By this stage, you should recognize that regardless of your specific historical research interests, the collection of research data and evidence remains a fundamental aspect of knowledge production. Moreover, the manner in which we document our research bears significant implications for the types of knowledge generated, which in turn influences the public reception of history.</p>
<p>For your consolidation reflection this week, I hope you not only contemplate the themes presented in this module but also consider how these themes influence the <em>process</em> of crafting your research notes. My expectations for your consolidation reflection are significantly higher, and I also require your memex/open-access notebook to be up to date to accurately evaluate your progress.  <strong>If you have not completed your weekly reflections, please do so immediately, as they directly impact your consolidation reflection grade.</strong></p>
<h3 id="check-in"><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" href="#check-in"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>Check-In</h3>
<p>If you need help or support of any kind, please use the consolidation week to seek it. I am here to help you succeed in this course. If you're unsure about how to use a particular plugin, please contact me. If you're uncertain about the note creation process or whether you are doing it effectively, please get in touch with me. Want to chat more about your particular research topic, <strong>Contact me, please</strong>. Use the resources available to you.</p>

<p><a href="/Crafting%20Digital%20History/2.%20Schedule/Module%203%20Arguing%20&#x26;%20Communicating/Week%2011" title="Week 11">Week 11</a> focuses on the communication of your research and your positionality as a digital historian/archaeologist. You will also be required to create a mind-map for your <a href="/Crafting%20Digital%20History/4.%20Assessment/6%20Exit%20Ticket" title="6 Exit Ticket">6 Exit Ticket</a>. I will make a brief video on how I use Canvas when creating mind maps and how this can help visualize your workflow. Please stay tuned.</p>
