Excel Revisited
I revisited the Excel training for this week. Something that the training suggested was to optionally check out a LinkedIn Learning tutorial, which I did for this. In addition to learning more about functions, I learned that there is an easier way to do certain types of charts that might be useful if I need […]
StoryMaps
My StoryMap is here. While it took me a long time to get the hang of StoryMaps, taking me three hours to finish making mine, it is overall quite intuitive when one already understand the sort of thing it is to be used for. This is one of its benefits, and another that I would […]
Audacity
I think I would be very comfortable helping someone else use Audacity. I have a lot of experience with a similar software, and a lot of what Audacity does is really intuitive to me, probably in part because its design choices laid the ground for the software I use personally. I found it interesting how […]
Gale Digital Scholar
I would feel comfortable teaching others this tool, especially the ngrams. I remember learning about it in the digital projects class I took and enjoying analyzing content sets in different ways. My favorite thing is definitely the ngrams, as visualizing the data of which words are used was not something I had not thought about […]
Documentation
Good documentation consists mainly on clarity and a high level of detailedness. My project lead and I will document the steps taken to make our site the way that it is, as well as why we made those choices, and how someone reading the documentation could do those things. We will also separately document how […]
WeVideo
I enjoyed learning WeVideo because it was reminiscent of some of my middle school experiences. I was in a program about learning to create media with a special focus on film, so I would use Final Cut Pro a lot in class. I think I would feel comfortable teaching someone else to use WeVideo in […]
Project Reflection
The current state of my project is that the actual website I am working on has little changed. It has two new pages added and the menu and header have been changed as well. Though technically speaking nothing has changed on the actual site, as I am making my changes on a staging site that […]
Learning ArcGIS Online
One thing that I liked with ArcGIS Online was how many options there were for ways to display data. I had learned this tool a little bit for my class at one point, but I forgot just how many options there are. I would not even think to display data in many of the ways […]
Learning to use Omeka
Similar to the Microsoft Excel training, I came into this training with some familiarity from my time in class. However, in this case, I learned things not focused on in class and have more of an appreciation for Omeka in the sense that I understand its capabilities more now. I liked the different themes that […]
PivotChart data visualization
There were many kinds of visualizations I was able to generate with my pivot chart, but not all were equal. Some were weird because they were composed of things that did not make sense to compare, like average ages against real estate value, but the way that the data was presented also had an impact […]
