Wednesday: The Omeka Experience

I didn’t realize that we were doing blog posts for Wednesday, so I’m late to the party in posting mine.  🙂  I thought I’d focus my entry on Omeka, since that was Wednesday’s big project.  It took me awhile to figure out the program, which was a bit frustrating, but once I got going, I was really pleased with the results.  I think my archive is something I’d like to expand, and maybe even potentially use as a teaching resource, if I’m covering 17th-19thc poetry in a lit class.

One other application that occurred to me just recently was the possibility of using Omeka to create an online CV of sorts.  Each element of the CV could be added as an item, with different exhibits to break down the different sections you’d find in a word or pdf version.  Even if this might not be workable for an academic CV, I might consider creating a site that functions as a sort of “creative writing resume.”
