So in the age of COVID 19 many educators and students have found themselves needing to use tools they are unfamiliar with. This series is designed to present a series of tools you can consider best-practice. By that I mean they are generally available across platforms and they emphasize your privacy and your ability to control what you do and do not share on the broader internet.

This episode is specifically focused on Web Browsers, Email Clients, and Web Hosting.

Here are the titles discussed in the video:

Firefox – https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
Thunderbird – https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/
Reclaim Hosting – https://reclaimhosting.com/

Additionally, Captura and Kdenlive were both used to make this video. They are discussed in detail in Part 4 of this series.

Hilary and Geoff begin a two-part series on major issues in the history of the “American West.” What does that term mean? How has the west been imagined and conceived, both in the past and in the contemporary ways we discuss it? Who gets included and who gets left out of that history? 

This is only part one of our discussion. Join us next time as we move into late-nineteenth and twentieth century ideas about the west.
