<p>Hello, Students.<br>
Welcome to Week 11. The end of the semester is near, and it is time to start thinking about how to approach your <a href="/Crafting%20Digital%20History/4.%20Assessment/6%20Exit%20Ticket" title="6 Exit Ticket">6 Exit Ticket</a>.  This week's theme focuses on your positionality as a digital historian/archaeologist and the perceived authority which you project when publishing work online. You touch on themes that address the distinction between 'Past' and 'History', 'Digital Neo-Colonialism', and 'Can History Be Speculative?'</p>
<p>Consider Trouillot's and Risam's arguments and compare their discussions to the approach Saidiya Hartman takes in her Speculative History, "An Unnamed Girl," and whether we can consider Hartman's approach as 'Historical'. Also, is Hartman's article a Digital History? <strong>Make sure to annotate this article using Hypothes.is application and import your annotations into your vault.</strong></p>
<h3 id="a-note-on-canvas-exercise"><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" href="#a-note-on-canvas-exercise"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>A Note on Canvas Exercise.</h3>
<p>A note on the <strong>Canvas</strong> component of this week's exercise. As you may know already, <strong>Canvas</strong> does not publish to your Mixa site. This has to do with the file type of the plugin. However, you can export your Canvas as a .png/.pdf file and then embed it into a note. The .png/.pdf will publish online via the note. <strong>Please complete this week's exercise and embed your Canvas PNG/PDF into this week's reflection note.</strong> This will enable me to provide feedback on your workflow.</p>
<h3 id="consolidation-reflection"><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" href="#consolidation-reflection"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>Consolidation Reflection.</h3>
<div><blockquote class="callout" style="border-left-color:#448aff;">
<div class="callout-title note" style="background-color: #448aff1a;"><span style="color:#448aff" class="callout-icon"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide-pencil"><line x1="18" y1="2" x2="22" y2="6"></line><path d="M7.5 20.5 19 9l-4-4L3.5 16.5 2 22z"></path></svg></span><strong>Update</strong></div>
<div class="callout-content" style=""><p>There was an error on my part concerning the submission of your Consolidation Reflection. Your reflections are to be submitted to the class D2L/Brightspace portal in PDF format. Also, please make sure your consolidation reflections are published on your Mixa/Memex website. This is how I provide direct feedback on your reflections.</p></div>
</blockquote></div>
<h3 id="weekly-reflections"><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" href="#weekly-reflections"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>Weekly Reflections</h3>
<p>Reflections are a critical part of your total work and inform your consolidation reflections and <a href="/Crafting%20Digital%20History/4.%20Assessment/6%20Exit%20Ticket" title="6 Exit Ticket">6 Exit Ticket</a>. Please make sure they are up to date. <strong>To make your reflections more powerful, link them to notes in your vault that inform the reflections.</strong> Please try this for <a href="/Crafting%20Digital%20History/2.%20Schedule/Module%203%20Arguing%20&#x26;%20Communicating/Week%2011" title="Week 11">Week 11</a>'s reflection. Linking your notes provides a path for you to not only reflect on your research, but also on the processes and methods used to create your notes and how they are linked. Linked notes provides valuable information on your evolution as a digital scholar.</p>
<h3 id="bases-plugin"><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" href="#bases-plugin"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>Bases Plugin</h3>
<p>Have you continued using the Bases plugin? If so, take screenshots and write a couple of atomic notes on how you are using the plugin to inform your research. Embed the screenshots into your notes. The more information and notes you create, the easier it will be when it comes time to write your Exit ticket and reflect on the totality of your work as a whole.</p>
<p>Have a great week.<br>
Scott</p>
