Actividad B: Creando mi mapa digital

This is a screenshot of some  storymaps created around San Antonio, Texas using the digital tool of History Pin.

In this activity we will be using History Pin, an open source tool that connects communities with local history​. It is a place for people to share photos and stories,​ telling the histories of their local communities.​

Create you digital map!

The instructor will guide you to have access, explore and engage with History Pin. The instructor can consider inviting a representative in your library of the digital humanities hub, organization, center, institute to facilitate a workshop using this digital tool. At UTSA you may want to contact the Community-Engaged Digital Scholarship (CEDISH) Hub.

Congratulations on completing part 1 where you sketched your map and brainstormed ideas for part 2. Now you will make sure to have 1-10 images digitally in a folder. and a location, address or specific place of each image.
