Winter Break

My winter break was quite busy, but during my spare time I did a little bit of work for ICEX. I am the scheduler for this trip and the program, so over the break I looked into ways to keep on top of it all to make sure all deadlines are met. Tyler gave me a link into a website called Trello and it seems like it's really going to help keep everything organized for me.

Also, I looked into using Google Earth to locate cistern sites. Unfortunately, I don't know much about Google Earth and wasn't able to figure out much. And lastly, I looked into a site called Omeka to use for my ICEX project. It seems like a good site in which to have a digital library and database for information we collect about Malta and its water and society.

This project using Omeka is targeted to be used to be a resource site for teachers and educators. It will (hopefully) have sources and information such that teachers can base lesson plans off of the information and resources on the website.
