Making connections between all of the terms, talent, and technology was much harder to wrap my head around than I originally thought. I like how the test we took prompted us to make connections and categorize the stuff in several different ways. It gets you thinking about how many ways there are actually are to connect the items. Thinking about putting them into a complex navigation system kind of hurts my head. I want all possible connections to be shown but there’s just so many it’s hard to know where to start. The examples we saw in class were really helpful to get us thinking outside the box. I especially loved the British museum website, I think it was. They had artefacts organized by region they were created in, time period, and then clicking on one created lines to other artefacts that it was related to. It essentially had three different organizational systems going on at once. I think ours could easily be sorted by at least two; whether it’s a talent, term, or tech, and then show connections between each item individually. There are probably many more ways to organize them but that’s probably something I’ll figure out as I go and start getting the basic connections put down and out of my head. Right now there’s not enough room to store all of that.
