CTP Skill Center

We worked on a Google Slides Pitch project and learned how to use AI to narrate a presentation and to add music.

Excited about slides presentation- actually enjoy presentations.

I am spending time on this slideshow because I tend to get fussy with the presentation being properly. . . presented. I take presentations as art shows and really believe the aesthetics and ease matter. It also makes me realize I may need to calm down and not overdo or overthink the presentation’s responsibilities, rather than being overwhelmed by aesthetics. Again, I really appreciate (I believe their names are) Esther and Eleanor conversing before class officially starts. Easing me into socializing with comfort.

I started the day by clocking in with Homebase. We started the class by doing typing. We went over the POW Google Slides Project and the instructions. I was working on my POW Google Slides project during class time. Then I took a break and continued the project. At the end of the day, I did the “What did I do today?” post and then clocked out of Homebase

Practiced typing for 15 minutes. Worked on the POW slides.

Started off the day by clocking into HomeBase. Then did some speed typing timing. Then worked on the POW slides presentation for most of the day. Then I did the “What I did today” post before clocking out of HomeBase for the day.

The second day of class was a little frantic for me, having two other appointments but having to cancel one of them right before class. I hope that I can get into the swing of things before next Tuesday so I can still have time in the morning to take care of other business and be ready for class.

When I found out we were only working on one project today, that was pretty relieving because I simply don’t like multitasking or learning a whole bunch in one day. This helped me focus on my own wellbeing alongside completing the CTP work, which was the Power of Wellness slides project.

I learned how to use SlidesCarnival for the first time. The AI voiceover video conversion ended up taking the rest of the time for class. I still haven’t been able to view the video. However, I did plug the Powerpoint version of my Slides project into NotebookLM and created a 6 minute ‘Explainer Video.’ Pretty Neat!

Today I went over the standing assignments, set up my remote access for virtualization projects, learned how to use the ticketing system, discussed the importance of these blog posts, and set up my calendar.

Slides assignment was easier than I thought.

Worked on my assignment due Thursday

With enough practice I should be able to do Slides on the entry level.

We had a brief overview of Google Slides. Then we pretty much had the whole class to work on our slide show for the POW health center. That was fun, and I hope that mine looks professional. We started the class with typing practice, and my words-per-minute are improving.

Today was my beginning to Pro Admin and Customer Service training. It was embarrassing to be a few minutes late to my first day but still felt happy joining into the outline for class.
Today I registered myself for Homebase as well as WordPress and Percipio. It is challenging for me to stay coherent but the practice with students and our teachers is encouraging. Especially everyone’s energy being inclusive and ready to teamwork through class. Excited for more learning and fun!
