CTP Skill Center

Today was the first day of my internship, and it went really well. I did my onboarding with Carrie, and she helped me get all set up on Telegraph. Everything went smoothly, and I felt good getting started.

We went over the CTP Associate Daily Tasks and the Job Listings Summary so I could learn how to find job postings that would be a good fit for participants and post them on the CTP Skill Center website.

I was able to find and post three jobs today. I know the more I practice searching and posting, the easier and faster it will get.

I’m excited to continue working with the CTP and looking forward to learning more throughout my internship.

Today I worked on scratch. It was really fun and I love animation so that was also really fun to do. I made a bat and a cat collide and ask questions. I’m excited to work on the website stuff next.

Today we worked with Scratch, a simple tool to practice animation and game design, very intuitive; it’s where coding meets legos. We spent the entirty of the day working on this, and the pre-lab. It is definitely worth mentioning that the substitute instructor was very helpful.

Today was a great day! We worked on our pre-lab for Coding and Web Servers and tried out Scratch. I also found some old games I created in high school that were similar to Scratch.

Also, this is what I did on Scratch.

I opened the day with typing practice. Usually, I type at approximately 32 words per minute; however, today I my performance was reduced to 26 words per minute, which was alarming for me. I might have been distracted during this exercise. Next, we worked on our BerkMart bio on WordPress. Lastly, I spent the lab hour working on my latest Percipio course.

Today we made our staff bios for the BerkMart website. We also we learned about our accountability assignment, which is to add a new item to BerkMart. We learned what to do for Thursday’s blog post, which is to summarize this week. I learned that you must be logged into the BerkMart website in order for the pages icon to show up in WordPress. During lab time, I started a Percipio course called “Analyzing Audiences & User Behavior in Google Analytics”, which I think could be very useful as a customer service representative because you learn how to better serve your audience.

I typed on Monkey Type on the CTPskillcenter page.

We worked on Creating Your Word Press Bio.

I did one and published it.
