What a robust group of albums have been emerging right before our eyes in this class! I am impressed with the variety of topics, the different formats and the sheer number of primary sources that you have found. Thank you for responding to your classmates and many thanks to the Network mentors and others in the Network but outside of our class who have suggested sources. I appreciate all comments as well as the thumbs up "like" response.
As you prepare for your peer review this week and then your class presentation during Week VI, here are a couple of tips repeated from our Week IV Module to improve your album's content and presentation look.
- Adding an image to replace the link you have for a text file or exhibit or collection. (Video Tutorial)
- Inserting a YouTube Link that will display as an image in your album
(Video Tutorial)
These enhancements will draw your viewers into the source more often than the link and title. When I download an album either as a webpage or a pdf to use with educators or students, it is the images followed by the descriptive text that works best for inquiry activities.
