11th Week
Today in class we all learned the in’s and the out’s of digital mapping. This process is particular and takes a keen attention to detail. When considering all that a people does in just one day it is quite a lot of important information to collect. Also, the visual of someone’s life is always easier to understand than the verbal because it gives people something to look at rather than imagine. Now to chronologically represent someone’s life on a digital map you need to be patient and decisive in your choices of life events. You could create a digital of someone’s life with someone they did every day but this would be unrealistic for developers. Instead, we learned in class how to decide what we should record and categorize into a digital map.
I think after seeing the information of my soldier put into a digital map I understand his journey more than before. However, the process in creating a digital map can be quite tasking. The aspects one must consider during the creation of a digital map are minuet. Still, it is better to provide a visual than not to provide one. After seeing the benefits of creating a digital map I believe that it is a worthy component to my project. Amos Phillips’ life is keenly important for our nation’s history. Therefore, when developing this project I want to represent him and his story properly. Beyond that I think it is also important to create a project that pays respect to the soldier who fought so hard so our nation in the Civil War. It is due to their efforts that we are the Unites States and I emphasize united in this statement. All in all, the addition of a digital map will be appropriate and useful in my project.
