I would like to propose a teach session on how to use online exhibit creation to teach students valuable critical thinking and digital humanities skills for lifelong learning. Based off teaching Omeka and Weebly to various undergraduate courses at UF, this session would cover what types of critical thinking skills can be learned from using Omeka and free website building sites, how to use these programs in the classroom, and what types of projects students can create. Best practices for teaching and other guidelines would also be covered. If scheduled, I would anticipate attendees would also get an opportunity to play around in Omeka as well. Although my experience is in the higher education classroom, I think this session would also be great for those who work in secondary schools as well.
