DGST 101:
Intro to Digital Studies

Studying digital culture, practicing digital creativity, and using digital methodologies.

It's been another busy, and hopefully productive week, with a bit of a different pace than Week 3. This week, your objective has been to complete a project that employs some digital methodology, and then produce a webpage that conveys the results of your project.

As we move into the end of this week, you should be preparing to share your work from the Digital Methodology project. It's a big project with some potentially complicated pieces, so I don't want to add anything new to your plate today other than some instructions and advice related to preparing your project for the web and then getting it online.

You've been working on your digital methodology and learning some HTML and CSS from Codecademy. Now it's time to start putting those ideas and those skills together in an actual web page.

Today, let's dig deeper into some digital methodology by practicing some of the techniques you may be using for your project. Likewise, take the next steps in your preferred teaching HTML/CSS learning tool so you can be ready to create your webpage this week. To give everyone a common frame of reference, no matter which module you're working on, please complete all of the short projects for today: film visualization, text analysis, and network mapping.

This week, our focus will be "Digital Methodology," which means "answering questions and solving problems with digital tools." This post outlines the work that lies ahead and gets you started working toward your Digital Methodology Project

This week, you'll work on two closely related projects in sequence:
