ThatCamp Philadelphia: DHThis A Thon

Over Twitter the morning of ThatCamp Philadelphia, John Theibault and I decided to propose a session on Adeline Koh and Roopika Risam's new project DHThis, which is an aggregation website with Reddit/Digg style commenting and up/down voting. DHThis is a promising project that I think can be useful to introduce people to the digital humanities.

As I worked the computer while John did much of the explaining to campers in the room, I do not really have notes for this session. A handful of campers attended this session and we had a great discussion of not only DHThis, but web apps like this in general.

After this post, I will be taking my yearly holiday hiatus. Our semester is winding down right now as papers and projects slowly trickle in to be graded. See you early in 2014 when the rest of my notes from conferences attended in the fall and summer will be posted and I will have some thrilling announcements about upcoming publications.

ThatCamp Philadelphia 2013: An Overview

I had a great time last month at ThatCamp Philadelphia, the third annual ThatCamp at Chemical Heritage during the fall. I ended up running a session on podcasting in the classroom and a session on DHThis with John Theibault from Stockton. I also got to meet some online friends like Alex Beaton.

I also got to formally announce the ThatCamp I will be doing on our Mount Laurel campus in the spring of 2014. More on that coming soon. I will post my notes from the day as the fall goes on.
