the history of hot air balloons

Identify any tools/apps that you have found useful and interesting in your work as a digital historian. (I am particularly interested in apps that we have not covered in the course.) Some useful apps that I found helpful are, Data Visualizations, Digital toolbox for historians, resources for multimedia creations, Digital maps, timelines. Those tools helped me a lot because I discover more when I used those tools, also I found it helpful by reading the book to have a better understanding of what we’re covering in class or the assignment.    

(1.) suggestions of at least two user participation projects, particularly those that focus on Virginia or local history (or could you suggest a crowd-sourcing project for a particular collection) that you find interesting.   1. The one that I found interesting was when people started tearing down important statues  2. roads in Virginia  How are these user-participation projects The statues project has to do with everyone in the United States and it has to do with history  The other one has to do with how people transport to and from work with new technology that has enhanced in today's world  URLs  https://www.virginiadot.org/about/resources/historyofrds.pdf https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/24/us/confederate-statues-photos.html  (2.) explain their importance These statues are a big part of American History and these people did many important things, for example, making the cities we live in and making the constitution of the US. its part of our history and people cant change histor

1.) suggestions of at least two online data sets, particularly relating to Virginia history if possible, that can be used for a data visualization project.   - The two online data sets I saw that you can use for a project was a bar chart and the second one was a line plot.  Those two you can definitely use for any projects that have to do with history and it would be easy to plot events in history. 2.) a visualization that you have found on the web and why you find it interesting.   The one that I thought was web trend map 4, this allows you to see what is currently trending online. This map is the most detailed one out of the four of them.  When I looked at it I thought it was interesting on how these engineers made this map.  It maps the 333 most influential Web domains and the 111 most influential internet people onto the Tokyo Metro map. Domains are carefully selected by the iA research team through dialogue with map enthusiasts.  It was made in Tokyo
