Using HistoryPin for Spatial Humanities and Social Sciences
Connecting area, space and place with theoretical concepts is the lynchpin of the emerging paradigm of spatial literacy. HistoryPin is a simple, interactive social media tool instructors can use to help create compelling course assignments with a spatial literacy component. This one hour workshop will give instructors a brief introduction to spatial literacy concepts and get them started using creating and using HistoryPin accounts. Options for administrating HistoryPin for course work and group projects will be discussed. Instructor: Krista White (Digital Humanities Librarian).
