Hi everyone, the mapping tutorial is now under “Tutorials” on the website, and is linked here. Please email Jake if you have questions or would like more help with the map, or if the plugin is not working the way you want it to.
As a reminder, I have office hours Mondays from 12:30-2, but I am happy to meet you outside of that time if it is more convenient for you. If you feel like you have any questions about how your computer works, any at all (even if it’s something you think you should know but don’t), please reach out, I am here to help and to teach you how to be comfortable with your laptop.
This resource guide was originally crafted by ITF Maggie Galvan, based on a guide created by CCNY ITFs Logan McBride and John Sorrentino.
Maps Marker is a WordPress plugin that allows you to create a map with marked points of interest.
You’ll see Maps Marker Pro on the left-hand side of the Dashboard. If you hover over or click this item, you’ll see the full submenu for Maps Marker.
To create a map, you’ll use the two map-making functions—layers and markers—of Maps Marker together. The following tutorial will lay out the basic steps of making a map specifically for the Neighborhood Visit assignment.
Hi everyone, apologies for the double email, this is the question sheet Prof. Rosenberg sent you all earlier today. We had some technical difficulties but we’re back up and running so we wanted to make sure these got posted here in the appropriate place on our site as well.
I mentioned this in class last week but there was very little response one way or another, so I’m asking you all to please weigh in below. Because of the government’s newly stated policy regarding immigrants and heightened arrests and deportation, we want to make sure that you feel safe and protected in the work you do in this class. We’ve been very grateful for so many of the personal stories that have been shared via the blog, but we do not want anyone to feel that they are sharing personal immigration information that could compromise their status or that of their family. Right now, our site is open to the public, meaning that anyone can find our site and read it. This potentially includes immigration officials, although I want to stress that there has been NO evidence to suggest that they are doing so thus far.
Here are three options for continued privacy of our site:
Continue being open to the public. If you have a post that contains potentially sensitive information, you can set the visibility to private and we will all have a password that we can use to read your post.
Make the site accessible only to members of the Macaulay community. This means that only those who have signed up for an ePortfolios account can view.
Make the site accessible only to our class.
I would be happy to discuss pros and cons of any of these options tomorrow in class, if you like. Or you may email me with specific questions. We want our site to be open to the greatest number of people because educators and students from other schools and from within the CUNY community can see the great work you’re all doing. At the same time, we want to make sure that no one feels that they are placing themselves or their families in a compromised position. We continue to be dedicated to the belief that Macaulay is a place for all students regardless of immigration status.
Hi everyone, a few of you asked me for some guidelines on footnotes and citations today in class, so I put together this tutorial. Feel free to ask me about anything. Also remember to upload your prezi if you want me to look at it this weekend. Use the category “Prezi practice.”
Using footnotes and citations are a way to make sure that you attribute any information that comes from an outside source. This includes both primary sources, such as newspapers, government documents, public records, interviews, and other archival materials, as well as secondary sources, which includes books, articles, film, or internet sources about your subject.
A citation refers to the actual text that refers to an outside source. Footnotes are a particular kind of citation that appears at the bottom of the page. All word processors have a built-in footnote function that you absolutely should use.
Today we’re going to learn some basics of Prezi. It is an online presentation software that allows you to visualize your presentation in a non-linear fashion.
Why Use Prezi?
Prezi is merely a different option for giving a presentation and telling a visual story. For some projects, it might be better suited than PowerPoint or Keynote, which are better at telling a linear story.
Please use this form to sign up for which day you will present your Family History project. The two options are Monday February 27 and Wednesday March 1. Make sure you enter your full name, make sure you record your selection, and then make sure to click “Save” after you’ve selected a day. There are 9 slots per day; once the day is full, it will no longer be available as an option to select.
The link to the form is: http://doodle.com/poll/asuriyndz7g53iei, in case the link above doesn’t work.
Great job, everyone, on the blog posts and comments so far. Prof. Rosenberg and I encourage you to sustain the quality of discussion throughout the semester.
If you have not done so already, please change your “Display name publicly as” name in the Dashboard to your first and last name. To do this, go to “Profile” on the left sidebar, then scroll down until you see the “Display name publicly as” dropdown menu. Select your first and last name. If they do not appear, fill them out in the fields above. This way Prof. Rosenberg can clearly see who you are when you post and make sure you get credit for participating in the week’s blogging/commenting. I see a few of this week’s bloggers have either their username, just their first name, or their name without a space between first and last names displaying currently. You also don’t have to sign your name on your blog posts or comments — the system does that for you automatically.
Also, I’ve activated the site so that when someone comments on your post, you will receive an email. I encourage the original posters to reply to comments as you see fit. Everyone should also check the box that reads “
If you are not listed above, then you are expected to comment on one of the blogs after they are posted. Posts are due Friday by noon, comments should be posted by Sunday night.
