“At its best, the digital humanities is

about engaging more critically with the intersections

between technology and how we act,

think, and learn.”

Howard Rheingold

“What people know about how to use media matters… The digital divide now has to include the divide between those who know how to get and to verify information they need just in time and just in place, those who can cultivate and call on social networks…from those who do not.”

Choose digital tools mindfully
