We have finally put together the Sky Team project and it is up and running on the website! The Sky Team will be meeting one last time with the professors before the presentations and before the website goes live to do one last check of subject matter and to prepare for the presentation. I feel confident that we are ready, though. The Sky Team definitely had some rough patches getting to this point, but we were able to push through and get everything done. It is such a relief to get to this point and be able to step back and just appreciate everything that the whole class has accomplished. It is so exciting to see a semester’s worth of hard work finally come to fruition. I love seeing our page within the context of the whole website and side-by-side with the work of the other three teams. I am so very proud of the whole class’s effort, flexibility, and hard work. Furthermore, I am eager to be able to spend time with the majority of these brilliant individuals on our trip to China in January.
The TAs, professors, and other course instructors are working hard behind the scenes to put together the logistics of the website. Shout out to our wonderful library friend Tierney, who has been helping the class and the TAs with the digital aspects technology stuff all semester, including getting the website in working order. With her guidance, the TAs have created our homepage map that will link to each team’s homepage. Additionally, the TAs have done a lot of editing and putting links within the website and things like that. Now, the teams have to worry about their presentations coming up very soon, and everybody else has to worry about perfecting the website for its official induction into the ever-growing field of Silk Road research! So, here we go!
