1. What academic skills could you use on the job?

Academic skills? My project uses a lot of writing, but it is a more/so creative product.

2. What forms of collaboration could you use in a project?

My project is a film and the narrative is/will be told through interviews of members from the museum's Teen Art Council, so the whole thing is pretty much a collaborative piece.

3. What technical skills can you use at your internship?

Everyday I am faced with assignments that require technical skills, for instance, today and yesterday I was given about 3 videos (ranging from 3 hours to 35 minutes, through 4 DVDs), using my technical experience and skills I downloaded shareware applications which would allow me to rip the videos from the DVDs, take screenshots, and then finally cut the videos into 10 minutes segments, prepping them to be youtube ready.

4. What new things can you learn while working at your site?

People skills, art skills, overall office skills, so far I have learned a lot of work habits and work ethics, trying to do what I'm expected/told to in a timely fashion.

5. How can you exhibit, showcase or otherwise share your work?

My film will be presented on a website (I believe) and used to try to requite applicants for the Teen Art Council program.

6. How can your work or your skills & abilities help your company or organization?

Well, already my technical skills and abilities have helped the company involving youtube and trying to promote things, but I will also be using my skills to promote their teen programs, and also their flickr accounts and other websites.
