Today, we worked on Google Docs Introductions. Mike showed us some really cool tricks to use on Google Docs. That was pretty interesting. Next, we worked on – Core We Fixed These Letters Assignment. That was interesting. I like to be challenged and that was one. I’m reallt liking the class and what I’m learning is being put to use.

We covered many new options in Google Docs including: how to make changes to the font type, style, and spacing plus how to insert images and manipulate the background. I also learned how to change the background color of the document and using word art create a signature.

Started with typing. It went better than expected. Marc went over things that can help us meet deadlines, like Post-its and Google Calendar. Mike reviewed the Google Docs bar in more depth. We finished fixing some letters, like fonts, spacing, and alignments.

Started the day by clocking into HomeBase. then did a typing score test. Then we went over the ins and outs of Google Docs. Then we did the “fixing of the letters” assignment. Then I started on the “Sunshine Express Cover Letter” assignment. Then I did my “What I did today” post and clocked out of HomeBase for the day.

We learned about the standing assignments that are due weekly and daily, like posting this ‘What I did today’ and the Tech articles. We posted the standing assignments in our calendar and made notifications so as to hold us accountable for our actions and work. In lab, we did a desktop software setup to connect to outside computers. Finally, we got introduced to the ticketing system which will help us when we get to work to help us take notes, fix problems, and show our work

I started by clocking in on Homebase. Then I set up the VPN using WireGuard and tried out Remote Desktop Client. Also, I learned how to create a ticket, update the ticket, and add images to the ticket. I ended the day by clocking out of Homebase.

Today, we worked on the Monthly Email for Returning Participants. This is the time for evaluations on how we are doing. Marc explained that it is due on Thursday, along with the Accountability homework. Marc asked if we had anything that we needed any assistance with. I was able to get help on scheduling an email send-out. I tried several times myself, and it didn’t work. Now I know how to do it. I also noticed that if you have it on a schedule and didn’t complete the email, then I’m not able to edit it. He also explained the Accountability assignment that’s due on Thursday.

It’s June 1, so we have new students joining CORE. We did the orientation. We reviewed GMAIL. I was finally able to get a professional email address! We also reviewed how to set up scheduling an email to go out in the future.

Today I listened to CTT/PRO Orientation, then I took a break, then I learned how to create a new profile and add a bookmark to this profile, after that I logged in to Homebase and Slack

Started by clocking in at HomeBase. Then, welcoming the new people to the CTP, went over the program and all that. Then we went over Gmail. Went over the Core Monthly email for the Returning Participants assignment. then closed out the day by doing the “what I did today” posts and clocking out of HomeBase.
