We plan to continuously update the site each Spring when the course is offered. Each student selects three events or people to research and one primary source from the 1920s. All content on the site has been researched, collected, and organized by students, using quality sources. Students used digital tools to research and display their findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In building this site, students have not only expanded their knowledge of the 1920s, but have gained hands-on experience using digital tools and understanding the ever-changing field of digital history. We hope that it proves informative to teachers, students, and the general public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contributors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Hajo-Cathy-9.15.17-041-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-150 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Hajo-Cathy-9.15.17-041-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Hajo-Cathy-9.15.17-041-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Hajo-Cathy-9.15.17-041-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Hajo-Cathy-9.15.17-041-1536x1018.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Hajo-Cathy-9.15.17-041-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dh-wordpress.ramapo.edu\/discovering1920s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Hajo-Cathy-9.15.17-041.jpg 1811w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cathy Moran Hajo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cathy teaches <em>Introduction to Digital History<\/em>.
