Reflection 9/16-9/22
It’s been nice to get a refresher on Omeka through this training and the digital project development class because I haven’t used it for a project yet. Something I’d be curious about having in an advanced training in Omeka would be how to integrate it into other platforms. The site I looked at for class […]
Reflection 9/9-9/15
This week I worked briefly in Audacity importing and splicing audio clips. I chose an episode of the All Things Grinnell podcast where a band of two alums were interviewed. I recognized the band name because they used to be pretty involved with the Grinnell Area Arts Council, where I interned over the summer. I […]
Reflection 9/3-9/8
I spent my shift improving my personal website on WordPress. It was a big goal for me last year to work on it, but I never felt like I actually figured it out enough to a point of being able to make something I like. This yea has already been different so far, partly because […]
Reflection Retreat
I’ve been wanting to organize my personal WordPress site for a long long time. I tried to do it last year by adding images I liked and customizing it beyond the Vivero template but it felt very daunting to do. This year, part of my digital studies seminar is creating a digital portfolio that showcases […]
Reflection 4/29-5/5
For my ArcGIS 2.0 training this week, I combined data of storms in the Pacific ocean and the Atlantic ocean. I got this data from DASIL’s downloadable data resource that was originally given to me as a part of my data science course. In that class, we just started talking about geospatial data and shape […]
Reflection 4/15-4/21
Out of order and late because things have been crazy with school and everything else. This week, I focused on creating an Omeka exhibit through the revisiting training. I decided to make an exhibit with the limited collection of photos from my spring break trip I have. It reminded me a lot of creating an […]
Reflection 4/8-4/14
Moving around in the order a bit still, I tried out Voyant Tools this week. It’s another textual analysis tool that creates visualizations and other data analysis forms based on the text you provide. Specifically, I enjoyed the word map tool which visualizes the words in a web type construction depending on how close they […]
Reflection 4/1 – 4/7
Due to some technical difficulties with WeVideo, my training had been switched around a bit. This week, I worked through the StoryMaps one and will be doing the WeVideo next week. Now for the actual reflection: I really enjoyed working on StoryMaps. I didn’t expect it to be a website type format; in my mind, […]
Reflection 3/4-3/10
This week was fairly easy because I already created documentation for a task in the previous week for my project. My project lead had asked if there was a way to have images be enlarged when clicked on within the website, so I did some research and figured out how to do it. It was […]
Reflection 2/26-3/3
This wee I tried out Gale Digital Scholar Lab and its textual analysis features. I enjoy textual analysis a lot, so this was an interesting training for me. In my CSC-151 class, we were focusing on textual analysis and wrote our own programs to do sentiment analysis (a feature on the Gale Lab site as […]
