retreat day was pretty productive. as a new vivello [vivero fellow], i found it pretty helpful to have a lot of the information necessary for drop-in hours, project work and individual work given to us during the retreat.
the morning session focused more on a general overview of the program. we ended it by adding new subdomains to our sites.grinnell.edu websites and installing wordpress.
i would describe the afternoon session as more techincal. we went over the documentation site [a pretty helpful tool i can’t wait to use], peer mentoring and a breakdown of our hours.
all in all, i think that retreat made me a lot more excited for the rest of the semester ahead. i’m pretty excited about finishing my own portfolio site and am starting to think about how i will link this site to it [spoiler alert: i did it successfully].
i hope that with the experience i have gained with site building I can help my peers get started and build sites of their own. i can’t wait to learn about more of the digital tools vivello’s use.
