Every day we start with typing. My typing has gotten so much better than last week. We also worked on a project that caught my undivided attention. BerkMart website! This was a fun one to do! I like learning how to edit a website a publishing it. We even had time to work on our Accountability assignment.

I typed better after five tries. I had fun with a BerkMart exercise course, setting up a profile. I scheduled my Accountability reminder on my calendar. I worked on my Accountability Assignment. Marc helped me recover it from “Scheduled Send.” I learned something new: how to retrieve an email.

We worked on creating a Word Press page with our desired BerkMart title, created a bio and uploaded a professional image. I had my highest typing score: 54 words per minute at 99% accuracy.

I found the percipio “Making Difficult Conversations Meaningful” to be very valuable. I also enjoyed considering a BerkMart product and its price.

My typing speed went up by 2 wpm. The accountability assignment is somewhat of a new challenge.

Today I started with clocking in at HomeBases. I also turned in my weekly article at 1 pm. Then we jumped into our lab for the week. Then I posted my “what I did today,” and then I clocked out of HomeBase for the day. Later this evening, I will do some Skillsoft videos.

My typing speed has decreased as I have been doing Typing Games, and it has shown me that when I used to type the letter R, I was using the wrong finger. It’s hard trying to relearn something correctly. Alas, I will survive.

BerkMart New Item Addition has been fun.

Today I started to work on the Coding and Web Servers lab. I was able to complete the pre-lab and got to create a Scratch project.

Today I worked on the coding and Web Servers Pre-Lab assignment. I gained basic knowledge of coding, programming languages, and web servers. I researched terms such as HTML, HTTP, SSH, firewalls, Port 80, and Port 443. I also practiced using Scratch to understand how coding blocks work and created a simple project where Scratch cat talks and moves.

I learned something about myself that I hadn’t realized. I also learned that your answers to a lot of questions in an interview can have multiple answers.

In class, we practiced the STAR method. It’s an excellent way to prepare for behavioral interview questions. We also worked on answers to a variety of other types of interview questions.

It was interesting to hear how Carrie and other classmates answered questions.
