My Experience with Neatline!

 Neatline. If I'm being completely honest, I found my experience with it to be kind of complicated because it was hard for me to get certain things to work initially. Personally, it was not a breeze to work, and it took me a long time before I could even create a demo of a map. I think this was mainly my fault though, because I'm not very tech savvy and I was also having connectivity issues as well. Once I was able to get the hang of it however, I found it to be a pretty cool tool. I had never thought of presenting information through a map, much less a digital one, so I found the concept of being able to explore a topic using the globe for context to be innovative and different (in a good way). The only part of Neatline that I found to be a pain was that I couldn't "search" in the map for the specific location I wanted. Instead, I had to zoom in and toggle around the area to find the precise location, which is a slight drag. Overall, I'm excited to use Neatline for future projects because I think it will bring a new perspective to whatever I decide to present on next. I am slightly nervous about using it again since I am not very well accustomed to the different settings and I would hate to mess up and therefore ruin my project. I'm also worried that I won't be able to recall all the steps on how to activate and navigate the tool, but I guess I'll leave that worrying until I decide to use Neatline next. Also, I know there are tutorials on the class Camino page to help me with remembering steps, so I shouldn't be too worried.
