This week we went through CTT orientation, setting up a new chrome profile with bookmarks and extensions, and began using Homebase for clocking in and out.

I did the first three phases of project “Inception,” creating and installing virtual machines for Bodhi, Debian and Ubuntu Linux, and documented the process on the ticket site.

Today’s class began with CTT presenting tech articles. After that, I joined the Pro class to work on an introduction to Google Sheets and completed the assignment. Then we worked on the POW donor letter project using the Google Sheets page and utilized mail merge in Google Docs. It was a very productive day, and I learned new techniques for Google Sheets and the Mail Merge Extension.

Today I got a refresher on google sheets. I took notes on the formulas. I also got a refresher on how to merge letters with google sheets. I typed 70 WPM 100% accuracy.

Today pretty much flew by, when fun stuff is learned, time just flies. We got to work on Google Sheets and Mail Merging. Every new thing that gets assigned to us, between the two instructors, Mike and Marc, they have separate learning techniques and it makes it much better for me to understand the learning process. In the beginning, I thought I would bomb out and stop with the class. But each day I feel more competent with what I learn.

I learned to do sheets a little more and merge mail. Cool ways to save time while doing data entry. I’m looking forward to starting my Portfolio next week. I enjoy the CTP, it is giving me hope for a good job eventually. Must work on Skillsoft for Monday. It’s been a great week.

Today I learned about spreadsheets, how to enter formulas, and how to format columns, rows, and cells. I also learned about mailmerge. Overall today was fun and informative.

I was adding some extensions and bookmarks to my laptop.
