Personal Learning Tracker
I'm going to track my learning each week by utilizing google docs and using learning logs. My scheduling block time in my google calendar so that I stay organized. Regular pen and paper, along with utilizing blog posts ( on sites such as Dev, GitHub, CodePen etc. ) and updates along the way. So that I can look back and see how far I have come.
