The first week working as a digital scholarship intern has been an interesting experience to say the least! Beyond trying to soak up as much information as I can during training (as I'm very new to the topics that we covered, as well as to the far-reaching extents of the broad digital humanities world), I've found myself mostly focusing on attempting to define a role for myself going forward. It's been slightly hectic to get settled in and to take on the training of the job, but looking at articles that explore the realities of AI, the impacts of technology and the measures towards inclusivity have given me an interesting place to jump off, and I hope to continue to explore these topics as the term moves forward.
Like Tenzin, I am also a little overwhelmed using so many new platforms to organize my workflow. Traditionally, I'm more of a pen and paper kind of scheduler. Despite the initial discomfort of using a new site like Trello, it is so clear to me how working out my work schedule with my peers and superiors is a super-efficient way of organizing and delegating tasks. I'm excited to incorporate this platform into other venues-- perhaps even into my classes and group projects, especially as one of my classes has an Omeka exhibit element (Greek Art and Archaeology).
Going forward, I hope to integrate these new platforms and skills into my projects as they really begin. First week has certainly been a sort of "orientation" week, and it has been nothing if not interesting and humbling to realize the extent of this vast discipline!

Discussing Mariam’s video and breaking digital projects into three sub topics - source, processed and presentation - made it simpler to understand DH projects and recreate them. Throughout the course of training, as I got familiarize with Omeka and its purposes, I realized that I won’t be using as much of HTML, CSS and JavaScript as I expected earlier. It reminded me of one of the discussions I had with an alumnus where we talk about how, in classrooms, we learn to build things from scratch but it’s also important to find already available resources to build upon to save time and energy. Discussing web platforms, front end and back end was especially interesting as they are the fundamentals of website development.
It was overwhelming to be introduced to different apps, but in the end, it all connected well. I like the way Trello helps me organize my work. I am looking forward to learning the ways in which I could use Zotero to save my readings and notes. I hope to be able to improve my time management and organization skills by planning my own work schedule. I am also excited to start getting hands on various DH projects and design them on the web. The training week really helped me get a grasp on what I expect to work on for this internship and also introduced me to different technology which I hope to continue using. It was less stressful than I would have expected and am grateful to the supervisors and the co-workers in making the environment warm and friendly.
