I am not someone who has had extensive experience with Excel or spreadsheets or Google Docs in the past, but the whole timeline seemed simple enough when we first saw it. I was not nervous going in, but was unsure about a couple of things once I sat down to do it. A few of the awkward labels for the columns sent me grasping for memories from the class about what they meant. When we were taken to the computer lab the first week the MJP had crashed before I could collect any data to add to the timeline, so I did not get a chance to really try it before I got home. I was not quite sure how many tags I should be including, or how in depth my descriptions should go. I wondered how many extra lines we would need, and how quickly we would fill up all the lines we already had.
I like the timeline. I think that it's a valuable resource. I think that it is simple enough to be navigated by most people, and well organized enough to be searched through with some ease. I suppose we all still have to work on establishing what kind of tags to use and things of that nature, but for the most part I think we are all doing well with it and we all know what we are supposed to be doing. I think visually it is nice and simple, and I like the color coordination. I am happy that it is part of all of our projects, and I look forward to watching it expand.
