I feel like I learned so much through my errors, as well as working and communicating. This job is all about communicating, staying in touch with your peers and project lead. Even though the majority is done on-line and we\u2019re not seeing each other as much, we&#8217;re still staying connected with how well we communicate. If we\u2019re talking more on the technical side I would just say familiarizing myself with the tool and different software&#8217;s used.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Are there any areas (technical, methodological, practical) that you feel are areas of weakness for you as a Fellow?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think my areas of weakness for Vivero would be technical, specifically ArcGIS. For me using that software is very difficult even when I rewatched the video. I still had some trouble working with the program, but I think I just need to practice more and more of an objective. More of a purpose\/mission on making the project come to life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>What has been your favorite thing to learn as a Vivero Fellow so far?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I really enjoy working with WordPress. I think it\u2019s super fun creating a site however you want and learning the process of adding different elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Considering these three areas (things you have gotten good at, things you would like to be better at, things you have enjoyed learning), which area would you most like to focus on in your training and professional development going forward? This could be a specific tool or method (eg mapping, ArcGIS Online), a skill area (mentoring\/teaching, project planning), or anything else related to your work as a Fellow and your interests in digital scholarship.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m in between things that I would like to be better at and things I have enjoyed learning. Overall, getting better at things is still a process of trying to learn and I get some enjoyment from that. I want to really get better at ArcGIS because my project is around that tool and I really want to make sure I know how to use it as best as I can.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>What are some specific things you would like to achieve in this area (ie, master Elementor if you want to become a better web developer)?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I want to master Elementor, become a better web developer, but also just be able to navigate through ArcGIS and story maps without a hassle. Knowing what each function does and being able to envision my project and making it happen through the software. As well as with my project I want to make sure I can make her visions come through as best as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Which of these things do you want to do first, and what is the first step to doing that thing?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Definitely ArcGIS is one of things I want to get better at, as well as Story Map, but more so ArcGIS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My steps in making sure I can accomplish this goal is<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look into ArcGIS tutorial<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look into StoryMap tutorial<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch YouTube videos and other people work to see what they did<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get hands on my project<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work more and more on it every week\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ta-da!
