Please follow these steps to read the Daniels blog post which we read and annotate as group through Hypothesis.

1. Go to Hypothesis and set up your own free account.

2. Use this url to access the MDDE 622 group (i.e. only open to our class members) to read and annotate the Daniels' blog. https://via.hypothes.is/https://justpublics365.commons.gc.cuny.edu/06/2013/legacy-vs-digital-models-of-academic-scholarship/#annotations:TPKhohBLEeiho9s9tztRAw

3. As you read, highlight and make reading annotations. I have entered 2 to model what is expected. Make these annotations to reflect questions you have, insights gained, connections you made to other readings or ideas. Insert a graphic, or a url if you like, or keep things simple.

4. Make about 4-5 annotations and read what others have annotated.

5. In our Moodle discussion forum for Weeks 9 and 10, discuss both the blog post and what it was like to use Hypothesis.

6. Check here for additional information about how to use Hypothesis as a teacher (https://web.hypothes.is/education/)  and with your students. Hypothesis uses OSS and is free. It is a tool that highlights Open Pedagogical practices.
