Typing practice was fun. I participated in the BerkMart Online Shopping Exercise. While I don’t do well speaking or demonstrating in front of others, it was fun. I also practiced Search Engine Modifiers, which was great.

Today, we started with our typing for 15 minutes. Next, we all worked on BerkMart Point of Sales role plays. That was fun! We all did great. Eleanor is a great marketer. She upsold Joseph, and he just kept on buying what she suggested. Next, we worked on “Search Modifying Tips”. That was interesting. It definitely helps you narrow down your search.

I started the day by clocking into HomeBase. Then we jumped into our labs for most of the 3 hours. We did play a little with some text to voice app’s as well. Then, at the end of the day, I did my “What I did today” post and clocked out for the day in HomeBase. Later tonight, I’ll work on some Skillsoft videos.

We did typing practice, role-played a BerkMart employee and a BerkMart Customer and learned about and practiced different Search Engine Modifiers. I enjoyed all of these areas and really appreciated Marc’s engagement, patience in answering questions, his encouragement and the great participation of my classmates.

I enjoyed today’s class very much. It was fun doing the BerkMart role-playing, customer and employee. I like to listen to people and how they word things. Search engine modifiers were interesting. I have to learn more about what to use according to my needs.

Today I worked on the HTML on a VM Web Server lab. I created and configured a Debian virtual machine in VirtualBox and installed the Apache web server and SSH server. I learned how to use Linux terminal commands, configure package repositories, check Apache service status, and find the VM IP address. I successfully connected to the Apache default webpage through a web browser using the VM’s IP address and began creating a custom HTML webpage using nano and HTML code.

Today, I continued to work on the Coding and Web Servers lab. I was able to get the web server to work and edit the HTML file. I will need to finish it tomorrow.

I learned how to communicate when trying to sell merchandise to customers. Also we’re learning the 8 modifiers, and how to utilizing them.

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.
