First of
all, double click on "Computer" on the desktop. You will see a hard drive called
"username” (H:)" -- meaning that the drive named "Username"
is on Drive H:.
Double-click
on “Username” (H:)
Double-click
on “My Documents”
Click File
on the Menu bar and choose New > Folder.
Give the folder the name
Technology 6, Technology 7 or Technology 8 based on grade. This will be the folder where you will save
your work, save your class documents, and download pictures for projects, etc.
Next we will practice saving an
item (the Red Devil picture) from the Internet to your folder:
Right-click on the picture of the
Red Devil and choose Save Image As.. (or something like Save Picture As,
depending on the browser that you're using)
Click the drop down arrow in Save
in: Select usename (H:) from the list of drives available.
Next, choose the My Documets
folder. Then select the folder you created earlier (Technology 6, Technology 7
or Technology 8). Finally, click "Save". The picture should now be saved in your
folder.
Now we will set up some basic
folders that you can use to help keep your work organized this year: Go back to
the "Computer" icon on the desktop and open Username (H:) (if it's
not already open). Double-click My
Documents, then Double click Technology 6,7 or 8 folder. You should see one item in there now (the Red
Devil graphic).
Click File on the Menu bar and
choose New > Folder.
Name this folder
"Pictures".
Right-click in the open area of
the window (NOT on the Red Devil or the Pictures folder) and choose New >
Folder.
Name this folder
"Portfolio".
Drag the Red Devil graphic to the
Pictures folder. You should be able to
double-click the Pictures folder and see the graphic in there.
