As I am in my last semester and preparing for graduate school, and then a hopeful career somewhere in library science, archives, and digital scholarship, I am thinking about how to adapt these frameworks into something that is accessible and productive for future students. This is guiding my professional development in February and potentially March as I develop a training on CollectionBuilder for the Vivero Digital Fellows training portfolio.<br><br>So if anything, while I continue to develop my own skills in web development with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I am also exploring digital pedagogy and how to build interest in deepening digital humanities skills for myself and my peers.s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This semester, I\u2019m really hoping to delve further into CollectionBuilder and other static site-building frameworks.
