INFOGRAPHIC #1 -- How To Conduct Digital & Archival Research in Asian American Studies

In my very first ever INFOGRAPHIC using Canva, I provide general instructions to students in a "poster format" as I (re)mediate partial sections of my BLOG and excerpt from my Teaching With Technology Teaching Philosophy Statement. Yes, a TWTTPS.

In other words, I describe how (and why) to do digital and archival research in the field of Asian American Studies vis-a-vis my teaching philosophy statement. I plan to use my new INFOGRAPHIC teaching tool in the classroom as a DEMO for an assignment. Students will learn to create an infographic!  My hope is that students will engage with multiple digital genres such as reliable archival research.

Here is my next draft, including Works Cited.

I paraphrased the four sources cited, and tried to footnote the references, to no avail.  So, I added a second page for now.

Once I return home and to the classroom, I expect to tweak this INFOGRAPHIC a tiny bit.



INFOGRAPHIC #2 -- A Case Study -- The Santa Fe Japanese American Prison Camp -- How To Conduct Digital & Archival Research in Asian American Studies




For INFOGRAPHIC #2, this time with Venngage, I employ a "MYTH and REALITY" template which juxtaposes a historical timeline with archival photographs because I like the idea of a two column LIVING document.

First draft:

This site is also a DEMO for "How To Conduct Digital and Archival Research in Asian American Studies." The case study is the Santa Fe Japanese American Prison Camp. I expect to continue to work on this project for the next year and come back to Bread Loaf Santa Fe in Summer 2020.
