Okay,
I warned you that I had a lot to write about but that I've been ill this week. So here's yet ANOTHER post for your enjoyment.
This time I have a few more bits of information to share with you.
The first?
Well it's a blog by some students in New York who are studying Shakespeare simply through studying the texts (or that's how it appears to me). The lovely Mikhaela is actually the one who found this awesome, yet confusing blog, so let me first give credit to her! Thanks Mikhaela!
Here's the link to the blog:
New Paltz Shakespeare
*TARA* this is the link that I promised you! I hope that you find it interesting.
I'm hoping to hear back from the professor, Cyrus Mulready, to get more information about his teaching method as well as maybe setting up a discussion with his class and ours if at all possible. I think that would be awesome! Don't you? Plus their blog is very interesting and I enjoy the insight that they bring to the texts themselves.
Second....
I talked to a professor about pursuing researching the digital humanities and connecting that to Shakespeare and grammar (hopefully!). You guys probably know him....his name is Gideon Burton.
Does this even count as social proof? Maybe it's cheating just a little bit...
Anyway, we discussed the importance of the digital humanities movement and how is has had a great impact on how people study and comprehend things, as well as how there is still a large debate going on between whether or not it is effective to the extent of traditional research. Professor Burton gave me the link to a website that I thought I'd share:
https://dhs.stanford.edu/algorithmic-literacy/infoviz-and-new-literacies/
I'm just starting to get through the information but one little quote stuck out to me that I thought I'd share with you:
" I hope that the digital humanities can act as an impetus to demand better and more varied forms of literacy from our general academic (and by extension, public) audiences. The communication of information should not start by assuming poor visual literacy, network literacy and spatial literacy but rather should foster and demand increased levels of each. "

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am excited to hear more about it :)
