Checking on Brain Pickings for the first time makes me think about how this website is an exemplary DH project ?. Clearly, several reason would make you think that this website is greatly created to fulfill the objectives of literary works teachers and professors. Creating an educational website ,I believe, should be made after reading and elaborating about the visitors’ age to achieve your goal as teacher who aims to use the digital tools in the teachings methods. What interested me the most is the way they provide some beautiful pictures representing the idea that this is a digital website for humanities fields.

Moreover, colors sometimes, actually often plays a great rule at pushing the readers to read more or leaving the page. This website is also providing different other websites which would be very helpful for the literature field students. Each of these examples is written after a designed ordered numbers. So, the great work on appearance and content of the blog or website would make it more valuable to the readers and the students as well. In another word, the use of multimedia, graphics, animation, video, and sound make very enthusiastic website for the students.

However, the aim of this website is to bring back the historical background to the online technologies. Adding some more technologies such as mapping and characters recognition is actually a way to enhance and enrich these these technological methods with related information about them. Additionally, having a bookshelf, newsletter, original art, and sound as well shows how greatly the writer of the website is trying to reach most of the skills such as hearing, looking, and also buying is such great combination of the web.

This website actually reminds me of one of my teachers who used to give some advices about studying another language. So, she was always telling us that you have to listen and reread what you have listened to.

 

Thank you!
