Wednesday's class

Good morning everyone! I'm still fighting the World's Worst Cold.

Today and tomorrow, we will be in the computer lab. You have a variety of tasks to accomplish, so please use your time wisely. All these tasks are related to a project that I will be assigning on Thursday.

Task #1: Research your Myers-Briggs type. I did so just by googling my 4-letter type, and found quite a lot of information (often there are links embedded in the pages). Think about what you agree with, and what traits you are proud of.

Task #2: Explore the Career Cruising website. Career Cruising is a rite of passage for all Planning students; even I did it, back in the days when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. The site has a LOT of information about education planning, careers, and personal assessments. You need to log in. Our username is "byrne" and the password is "creek".

Once you log in, you will see a list of options on the left-hand side. One is for Portfolio Login. Please choose "Create a New Portfolio". Please make sure you write down your username/password.

Once you have a portfolio, play around! Use the buttons at the top of the page to navigate through Education, Assessments, and Careers. By Thursday I would like everyone to complete the "Career Matchmaker" and "My Skills" assessments, so they might be good places to start. You will be able to save the results in your portfolio.

If you are confused, ask others in the class, or your teacher. Good luck, and enjoy!
See you Thursday, Ms. A.
