Using @JSTOR, @VoyantTools, and DataBasic, these students created a vocabulary-based formula for scoring the usefulness of movies for teaching United States history. Among the best are Thirteen Days and Harriet from @FocusFeatures. https://t.co/bg3RtExi3r

"Tracking the 1918 Flu Pandemic in Print" <https://t.co/WM4BujgC8p> is the product of my 2020 AP history students. Their @librarycongress findings suggest that the disease was more serious than the coverage. #dh #dayofdh2020 #dighist #data #bigdata #ChronAm
