Looking back on learning:  What are the most important things you’ve learned this semester? What I have taken away from this semester is that some of the most important things are not the first things you would think about when it comes to a digital project, or just a project in general.

The ArcGIS map that I made shows the US cities that Mitski will visit on her tour in 2024. I used the buffer analysis feature to visualize the areas around each city that people at her concerts might be from (each buffer extends 300 miles from the center). The last time I did the ArcGIS…

Reflect on what you worked on and what you were trying to accomplish. Revisit the questions and struggles from your first pass at using Omeka: where do things stand now?

As a part of the HADC workshop I was able to present on the storymap I made for a final project in ARH-295 Haitian Art and Visual Culture. I decided to make my presentation less about the research topic and more about the process of making it, as I felt that that would be more…

After both reading and writing documentation, what do you think is necessary to create good documentation? I think it is necessary to not take for granted what people know. I also think it is necessary to prioritize being as clear as possible. What documentation will you and your project lead need to create for your…

How would you feel about helping someone else learn how to use Gale Digital Scholar Lab? I feel confident in my ability to help someone else learn how to use Gale Digital Scholar Lab, especially after this week’s class. What did you find most interesting?
