Final Project Exhibit

In preparation for the final project in digital humanities, the class viewed each others' final project ideas in attempt to peer-review and receive feedback before the final due date of the essay. During this exhibit, members of the class walked around as owners of the project presented a brief description of their projects on computers as the viewers critiqued the projects.

I presented via use of a Prezi, making sure to just skim over the most important points of my essay. The projects that I was able to view were similar in presentation; Prezi was used frequently because of its user-friendly layout and interactive components.

One essay presentation focused on the merging of social media and politics as well as younger generations' use of social media and its impact on their political awareness. Within this essay, the influence of Twitter bots, the sharing of articles, and the influence news sources have on social media users.

Similarly, another project I viewed was all about bots and whether or not meaning can be made from the material they produce. The bots that were included in this presentation primarily consisted of Twitter bots. The final project I viewed was about hypertext media. Within this project, the author was creating a project about the importance of hyperlinks and their history as well as their influence on digital culture.
