Citations used to be a way to say "Look how much I've read, don't mess with me" Now an invitation to #dialogue. #MacBig @williamjturkel

#macbig graduate students can (should?) Be instruments of change.

[Tristan Johnson @TristanPEJ]

Is the product of history too librocentric? #macbig

[Karen Balcom @KarenBalcom]

#macbig DeBarros talk shows how traditional meets new. We appreciate database because of old school historical context.

[McMaster BigHistory @MacBigHist]

@VivNelles #macbig see left column, favorites are "sticky" topics for follow up

[Karen Balcom @KarenBalcom]

My (just beginning) experience of teaching digital history: requires honing of "traditional" analysis. Lots of old with the new. #macbig

[Tristan Johnson @TristanPEJ]

When in a history education do we stop absorbing and begin doing history? #macbig

[McMaster BigHistory @MacBigHist]

@TristanPEJ ideally, as soon as possible. Showing students history's relevance through that process #macbig

[Karen Balcom @KarenBalcom]

#macbig Jennifer Bonnell. HGIS helps historians ask new questions and "see" old sources in new ways. See also http://t.co/1HXfwV6MWF.

[Tristan Johnson @TristanPEJ]

I'd like some good to come of big data besides spying and learning how to sell us stuff. #macbig

[McMaster BigHistory @MacBigHist]

@BrittanyTurbitt fantastic to see our undergrads joining our conversation, great ideas! #macbig

#macbig John Weaver: collaboration within our discipline isn't bad; problems come when we cross to other disciplines
