CTP Skill Center

Today, we reviewed how to use Google Sheets. Later, I learned how to use a few new tools while working on a Google Sheets assignment. Two of the tools I learned were split text to columns and the proper formula. I also learned what Mail Merge is.

Hello. Today is my second day of class. I started today’s class with a typing exercise. I typed 27 wpm with 99% accuracy. Unfortunately, after that, I accidentally minimized my volume so I couldn’t hear the instructions. At the end of class, I discovered my error and increased the volume again. I spent the class time creating a Google Slide Presentation marketing the POW Power of Wellness Health Center. I shared it with my instructor. I have much still to learn and practice.

Today I watched others present their tech articles, and learned about posting my own article on slack. We then learned about virtual machines, and was refreshed on creating VMs. I turned in my Skillsoft weekly summary for the first time. I discovered I need to be better explaining tech and software to be more professional, and it will make things proper and smooth.

Today was pretty eventful, I got to welcome four new participants to the CTT program and share my tech article with them. Afterwards I continued working on my Core Training Portfolio and then completed the Mail Merge project. Doing the mail merge was interesting, I have wondered how mass mailing works in the past.

Today, we went over some more introductions with other students at different places in the program. Afterwards, we went over the tech article assignment and the accompanied resources in greater detail. We also saw two other students showcase their articles.

Once that was done, we went into the initial stages of setting up our remote virtual machines. Not much has been completed of this so far, but we do have the ISO’s copied over onto the actual machine from the networks.

Overall, I would say this was a decent day.

Today I did a typing test . After that, I worked on a spreadsheet I leared a lot today by highlighting the coloms and all the other things like right-clicking .

We started the class by practicing typing. Then, as a group, we proceeded to work on the POW Donor Letter project.

Thankful Thursday. Today I am thankful to be in a class that helps me build my skills for the workplace. We practiced typing today. We reviewed the basics of Google Sheets. After review, we began working on a Google Sheet project together in class. I was engaged to learn new technical details to utilize the Google Sheets even more. Next, we are learning to mail merge! Sounds interesting. Looking forward to more ahead. The time has come to conclude class for the day. Hope your Thursday was a learning day for you too.

Today I worked on google sheets on formatting the sheet properly. I also worked on some skillsoft.

Today I started by posting some jobs for the newer students. Following that, I worked on the ERG project, finding entries on the Disability Inclusion website to add to the spreadsheet. I even got the opportunity to directly help a student who was struggling, which was really cool! I hope my advice was helpful, and I hope that I can do it more in the future!
