This Public Historian: September 2009
http://tashadiloreto.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 25, 2009. How much is too much? Information overload in the growing digital world. Being new to blogging, I found it very difficult to pick a topic to write my first blog about, at least until I read an article from the New Yorker in Professor Turkel’s Digital History class. I found that this article that made me really think, and in turn, moved me to share some thoughts about. So here’s where the blog begins. Don’t all of us want to be remembered in some way after we die? If someone we...

Sunday, October 25, 2009. A Remix Manifesto" and Some Related Thoughts. Last Thursday night, Catherine. And myself decided to check out Brett Gaylor’s Rip! Gaylor provides viewers with the Remixer’s Manifesto, a list that he uses to make his arguments, and in my opinion, does so with success. Culture always builds on the past. The past always tries to control the future. Our future is becoming less free. To build free societies, you must limit control of the past. This is so wrong! These two companies wh...

This Public Historian: The Awakening
http://tashadiloreto.blogspot.com/2009/11/awakening.html
Friday, November 27, 2009. I first read Kate Chopin's The Awakening. In my first year English forms of fiction class and loved it. I was told by my professor that it’s interesting to read the book at different stages in life, so I’ve been hoping to read it again soon (I just need to find the time! That said, I figured this would be the perfect book to use for this week’s assignment; it’s surprisingly old enough to be fully available online at Project Gutenberg. Even the word marriage. Plus, I could even ...

This Public Historian: A Foray into Board Games of the Past
http://tashadiloreto.blogspot.com/2010/06/foray-into-board-games-of-past.html
Thursday, June 3, 2010. A Foray into Board Games of the Past. 8221; Hmm, interesting claim for a board game to make. Upon opening the box, I discovered that the game consisted of several large cards with each divided into a grid with some sort of cryptic statement inside each grid square. As there were no instructions, I really couldn’t even comprehend how to play the game, but thought it seemed cool nonetheless. The two other games that really got me excited were Sorry! I had no idea that Sorry! A Touch...

Sunday, August 1, 2010. A history nerd, yes. A science nerd, not so much. I decided that instead of having yet another lazy Sunday, I would venture out to the Canada Science and Technology Museum. It was only a 5 minute walk and once I got past the trees I could see the museum. It was in a very low one story building and looked very industrial to me. How appropriate for a museum devoted to scien. All in all I would say that the Canada Science and Technology Museum was not for me, but would certainly appe...

Tuesday, February 23, 2010. An easy-to-use, step-by-step guide to researching Canadians who served in World War One. For a recent activity in an archives class, we were asked to compile a pathfinder to assist those researching Canadian family members who served in World War One (1914-1918). It was a very useful and informative exercise, and I hope that anyone interested in researching former Canadian servicemen/women will find this pathfinder helpful in their research! To begin your search:. 8226; On the...

Friday, December 11, 2009. I now know how the Internet works! Some reflections on digital history. Will we even be needed anymore? These questions make anyone pursuing an education in history nervous; are we doing all this work for nothing? Will people need us to interpret the sources anymore, or are we just wasting our time?
