Text-mining tools are not that valuable to my research project just because it does not give me data or statistics. For example, Wordle is a great tool that is visually appealing. But for my topic, it would only be visually appealing rather than having an informative meaning. Google Ngram is only helpful in the sense that it searches for books. However, I don’t think I will use either for my project. I learn that text analysis is difficult to work with and you need to find the right project in order to use it. Unfortunately, I don’t believe these will be helpful for me. Although, I did really like learning about them and using them.
For my project, I finally narrowed down my research topic. At first, I was having trouble narrowing down my topic because it was too broad and it was not in the right time period. It was more present than past. I am also learning how to work with Omeka more and more every class. Today was really helpful. I learned how to add headers and how to create exhibits, etc. The most challenging thing is putting everything together and gathering interesting data. I am trying to find information that is appealing to possible viewers of my site.
