What I Did Today

August 4, 2026: Today, I got introduced to a lot of new programs. First was Homebase, which allows me to clock in and out during the beginning and end of a class session. Second was GuardWire, an application allowing the user to remote control another computer. Finally, there’s osTicket, which lets users send notes of various priorities to others. For example, if someone needs their computer to be repaired, they can notify others using osTicket.

What did I do today

Started the class by clocking in with Homebase. In the first 15 minutes of class, I did a practice typing. I continued working on the BerkMart Event Project from Step 5 to Step 7. After Step 7, which is the summary email I sent, I have fully completed the BerkMart Event Project. I had a very productive day completing the project. Before the class ends, I did a “What did I do today” post, and then after the class ends, I will clock out of Homebase.

What I Did Today

Whoohoo, today’s class time is over. It was interesting working on the spreadsheet and being able to complete a realistic, but fictional, project. The data entry in Sheets is probably my strong suit, even though usually in excess, I don’t like doing it. It was good practice following the steps and checking in with the instructor up until step 8, which was the extra credit mail merge.

After putting the Avery Labels Merge add-on into my google docs, I could find and run the extension, pull the data from the google sheets I had just created, and neatly display mail merge information on the name labels for the investor conference. I like feeling like a lot of computer work has been accomplished with a click of a button, so I enjoyed this part.

It being Tuesday, I feel like I also have a head start on my accountability homework due on Thursday. I’m spending some time answering the questions to help improve my knowledge and ability around focusing. I don’t feel like a particularly struggle with focusing, but I do try to work on similar activities throughout the day to improve my overall productivity.

Today was my first day of afternoon training at CTP. We reviewed the Core Orientation and met the staff and fellow participants. Then we split up and started working on CTT Setup Labs. At the end of the day, we finished with Skillsoft.
The skills I am hoping to work on this week are organizing my browser, saving bookmarks, and getting comfortable with a password vault.

What I Did Today

(8/3/2026)-Yesterday- I came to class and got to meet some of the other classmates before we split into different groups. I worked on the CTT labs, which helped me get familiar with Google Chrome and set up a profile for this class, which is cool. Also, at the end of class, I got to set up accounts for Homebase and Bitwarden.
