Deliverable: In a blog post on your portfolio, reflect on the experience of learning how to use Omeka. How would you feel about helping someone else learn how to use Omeka? What did you find most interesting? What did you find most frustrating? What questions do you still have, and what parts of the tool do you want to explore more deeply?

After this I feel a little more confident in helping someone with Omeka, but overall I need more practice. Either way if someone does come in asking questions and I don’t know the answer too, I’ll move them on with another Vivero Fellow who does, or I will go back to the Vivero site and try to figure it out from there.

Learning how to use Omeka was really straightforward when given the directions use on what to do. I think for me, I was only having issues when it came to having to install the new features, and with some parts it was taking me to read a whole new site of directions.

I think the part that I found frustrating/confused was where I had to create a simple page (asking me to installed it) so I did but it guided me to a hand out about simple pages read through the instructions. Later it guided me through another set of instruction taking me to do something else in the end I just had to go back to my page and check the left hand side on “Simple pages”. I think it’s a matter of getting used to and being familiar with it.

My question is are we allowed to use the same title for things or is preferred to use a new title for everything. Because going through the Exhibits, Simple Pages, it was asking to create a new title and for me I was running out of things on what to call it. So I was wondering if that was allowed or not? I want to explore more deeply is the site customization part because when creating a cite especially with the project the Project Lead is looking into having a certain look, so I want to make that possible for them.
