Talk and then Make: Teaching with Big Data http://ahadenver2017.thatcamp.org/2017/01/03/talk-and-then-make-teaching-with-big-data/ Tue, 03 Jan 2017 22:37:17 +0000 http://ahadenver2017.thatcamp.org/?p=248 Continue reading ]]>

This session will ask participants to engage with the concept of big data and how we can help our students better grasp the enormity of the data behind many of the projects/apps/websites they interface with every day either in the classroom or as public citizens.

When we talk, we’ll look at two to four digital projects and popular social media platforms to discuss the big data behind these pretty looking platforms. What are the consequences of big data’s use for historical analysis, historical consumption, privacy and other aspects? Are those consequences different for us and for our students?

After talking, we’ll make. How can we put what we came up with into student facing language? Can we create a lesson plan, activity, clearinghouse or website that deals with it in a way that will engage our students?

Twelve days until THATCamp AHA Denver 2017! As we gear up for the (un)conference, the schedule is starting to take shape. While there will be plenty of space for nominated presentations (propose!), there are two preplanned sessions.

The first, led by UC-Denver’s Stephanie Robbins, examines digital accessibility and ways to improve access to digital and web based tools for people with disabilities. Stephanie provided a series of links under the Digital Accessibility Resources.

The second is on digital mapping and will be facilitated by Angela Cunningham and Samuel Smith from CU-Boulder. Those interested in attending this session are encouraged to bring a laptop that already has Google Earth installed and have access to a non-institutional Google account. Here’s a link to the session’s handout, but please don’t feel obligated to study it before the (un)conference as it will serve as the outline for the session.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Announcing THATCamp AHA Denver 2017 http://ahadenver2017.thatcamp.org/2012/09/27/hello-world/ Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:59:40 +0000 http://ahadenver2017.thatcamp.org/?p=1 Continue reading ]]>

 

We’re very pleased to announce the seventh annual THATCamp AHA. Starting in Chicago in 2012 we have had a THATCamp at our annual meeting every year, and this year is no different. This edition will be held on January 4, 2017, the day before the start of the AHA Annual meeting, at the University of Colorado Denver. We’re very thankful for the sponsorship of the College of Liberal Arts and Science at the University of Colorado Denver, the Division of Student Affairs at the University of Colorado Denver, and the Office of Academic of the University of Colorado System.

You don’t have to be attending the AHA annual meeting to come to THATCamp. It is free and open to all, but if you are coming please think about attending. You can find out more about the meeting, check out the program, and get details about travel on the AHA website.

We will be opening THATCamp registration very soon, so watch this space. If you’ve never been to a THATCamp you can read more about the THATCamp movement at thatcamp.org.
