Well, bust our buttons! We just hit 12M annotations. Several came close to the milestone, so we thought we’d share the best of the best. #annotation
Wow! Nice move. We love that jamesjeffries decided to annotate Dubliners with an old-timey song from James Joyce’s era. Yes, a link can be an #annotation. https://hyp.is/OAB04tcqEeqPN59FqVdSaQ/icla2020.jonreeve.com/texts/dubliners.html">https://hyp.is/OAB04tcqE... #annotation
Barthes’ “Camera Lucida” goes to some interesting places, like the annotations around it. One has us obsessing on squaring a circle, the way the ancient geometers did — yes, that’s a real word. Thanks, ashley.mchale for your thought-provoking #annotation. https://hyp.is/SPWCBNgXEeq3LqdQPzc-wA/www.laspositascollege.edu/anth/hypothesis_demo.php">https://hyp.is/SPWCBNgXE...
This annotator points to practical magic by including a talk by Charles Simonyi on software. A video in the margins? The medieval monks who used to mark up books would consider that magic. https://hyp.is/khUtDtlNEeqCvWcnBRf7uA/ipfs.io/ipfs/QmZq3V7uG9KttYZ233fftFFSBxHfTi8XjoA3TpfVZpMF7o">https://hyp.is/khUtDtlNE... #annotation
Talk about a cold case! Many have theorized on this unsolved mystery from 1587, and still there’s no clear explanation for the disappearance of the “Lost Colony of Roanoke.” Hopefully colonization in all its forms will also get buried in the past. https://hyp.is/fNuzNtmnEeq7iD-t85rTGg/www.history.com/news/what-happened-to-the-lost-colony-of-roanoke">https://hyp.is/fNuzNtmnE...
We love #OER because everyone can contribute to scholarship. Dig in to @holden& #39;s #ChoralExplanations where this annotator says, “once you can get to the right question, it also can become easier to teach yourself.” https://hyp.is/nOmhSNmwEeq6728gw7_5qw/hapgood.us/2016/05/13/choral-explanations/">https://hyp.is/nOmhSNmwE... #annotation
“Discussion is the only solution” says Kevinn_Zou in the margins of this public policy and science letter, which references the famous Chinese fable about blind men and an elephant. Do tell! https://hyp.is/jSwyWtnuEeqxSTtH_PQ6Ug/dmifrank.com/ClassStuff/Readings/The%20Risks%20and%20Advantages%20of%20Framing%20Science.pdf">https://hyp.is/jSwyWtnuE... #annotation
