It was really interesting seeing how I could create a whole GIS map for a website and app. I thought I would need to learn some coding language before I could do something like this. I feel like there is a lot you can do with arcGIS experience, in my case with the tree map I feel it fits exactly what the professor wants. I feel like I can definitely answer questions about arcGIS , maybe not very advanced ones but most basic ones they have problems with. I found the most interesting thing about this was just how good looking the final product looked and how professional it looked. I think I will spend more time this weekend messing around with this and look at some more tutorials.

I feel after this Omeka training I would help someone with the basics of Omeka. I probably need some more time practicing it to answer more difficult questions I may receive. I would like the interface to be very easy to navigate compared to WordPress. I really didn’t find anything too frustrating with Omeka. The only thing I found frustrating was creating the subdomain and that was not because of Omeka. I guess my only question I have is what projects do we use Omeka with? Are they used for almost all or are there ones that use it more often?

I think that it’s natural with most jobs, I feel this will be better prepare me for future careers and prospects in the future. I do have stress with not knowing what I’m doing so far but I feel that probably everyone here has at one time when they stared this job had those same feelings. For my first day here I do feel like this went better than I thought it would go yesterday, but that post about doing a job you don’t know did help with my stress about the this job.

I’m probably most excited for creating a nice looking website and learning more about creating websites. Is WordPress the most common way we will use to create websites for our projects this year?  I think learning the process of using WordPress or something similar is not too overwhelming as it first seems and just taking time to learn about is definitely rewording.
