reflection-final project

This final project allowed me to experiment in a hypothetical realm of museum education and with alternative options for information distribution.

I was able to dedicate more time to researching the VTS methodology, a structure in which I’d been interested… but one in which I’d  had few opportunities to incorporate into practice.   I was challenged to  think beyond the strict implementation of someone else’s  ideas and  to consider  how those ideas are filtered by my own habits and temperament.  Recording and replaying my conversations with Mara made me acutely aware of small tendencies that hindered my communication.  For example, I digitally removed many of my natural agreeances (especially  in the Hopper podcast).  It was never my intention to identify “correct” observations.  My visit to the museum with Mara was long overdue.

I am not satisfied with the blog’s layout and color palette.  It feels too severe and uninviting for my already hesitant target audience.  If I were to do this again–since none of the other wordpress templates appealed to me–I might build my own website (with some assistance!) to achieve a “look” compatible with the content.

All in all… I’m very excited about my expanding digital media skill set.

Thanks for a great semester!
