CDE Internship Day 9: TechStak - Meeting My Partner & New Website Launch

I finally met my partner Jessica Finley. We had a group strategy meeting at Spark Central today. The new TechStak website went live (click to see the new site). Nichol took us on a tour of the new design and showed us some new features. Unintentionally, we had an opportunity to troubleshoot the re-design, find small formatting errors and mislabeled sections, noting major, but important. They were able to trim 60 pages of unnecessary site data; dead links, repeated information, ect.

Having the team all gathered in one place, I was able to demonstrate my prototype Chatbot to them. Once again, I received great feedback, a little constructive criticism and made some changes right there at the conference table. It was valuable for me to get instant feedback on my 1st Chatbot creation.

With one Bot pretty much in the books, I've been  re-focus to Conversational Landing Pages. What are those?!? Drift has the ability to start a Bot conversation in a landing page, video or whitepaper. You could send someone to watch your informational video and start conversation based on the topics in the video. We'll see how that works out.

CDE Internship Day 2: Lights, Camera, Locked Out?!?

At Spark East for another great session with Gavin and ShopWindow. Today started off a bit different, we were locked out of the building! Through no one's fault, circumstances led to our second session being held at the cafe next door. Good music, good food and an understanding staff made it a fine substitute for a Spark workspace. To start this session, we recapped our individual progress in our assigned Shop Window courses. I'm becoming more and more familiar with the usage of their technology. Gavin has given me access to virtual replica of ShopWindow, to learn, create and explore in. Once I have sufficient experience, I'm going to create a series of Webinars introducing new customers to the benefits of ShopWindow and helping current clients with any issues they may be experiencing. In addition, I've been tasked with contacting Template Designers, to start the process of integrating templates into the ShopWindow webpage builder tool. After Nate took us through so...

CDE Internship Day 1: What am I Doing?!?

Hello and welcome to the blog of my Center for Digital Engagement through, Ann Arbor Spark and Eastern Michigan University, internship. I'll come up with a different name for all that in future posts, shorter, definitely shorter. Day 1: I was assigned to ShopWindow.io along with my partner, Nate. We had our first meeting at Spark East, out in Ypsilanti. Prior to Day 1, I'd met Gavin, CEO of ShopWindow, at TechWalk a week before and it was a great. I was able to introduce myself and get to know what ShopWindow was all about. This was my first time meeting Nate, he was great! We gathered around a conference table and started talks about what type of project we wanted to take on, as part of our internship. After discussing our interests and desires, we settled in and started plotting out our specific plans to accomplish these projects. I was enrolled in the companies various on-line courses, to understand the workings of Shop Window inside and out. Then we had a chanc...
