First few ICT sessions...

Welcome! Here is a breakdown of what we will be focussing on in class for the next few lessons.... 


Firstly... do you have your network usernames and passwords? If not - you need to see Glen in the Computer Office NOW. Also, can you locate the Z drive (or Jaipur) in your network list? You will need to be able to access this.


Tasks:

·      Create a “School Work folder” on laptop desktop

·      In that folder create a whole lot of subject sub-folders for each of your classes. E.g English, Music, Science, Maths, etc...

·      Copy and paste that school folder into your NAMED folder on z Drive (Jaipur)  - in student files. 

 To SYNC – Have folder open on desktop / plus network Z drive folder up – drag one onto another and folders will copy and sync to back up – DO THIS EACH WEEK :)

  

•   What do you know about KnowledgeNET?? Log onto Knowledge net and have a look at our Year 9 ICT page. It will have a link back to the most important webpage you will need ... this blog! Also - if there are any documents or resources that are posted online - you can find them in the filing cabinet on the left hand side of our ICT page on KnowledgeNET.
• First big ICT publishing task - In Microsoft Office WORD create a poster to inform other school users about how to properly care for their netbooks.... E.g. Don't BANG BUMP DROP / DON'T LIFT BY ITS LID / DON'T HAVE DRINKS OR LIQUIDS NEARBY / KEEP IT CHARGED AT HOME / KEEP IN CASE / SAVE ALL WORK TO DESKTOP FOLDER AND Z DRIVE. Think about how to make your poster stick out - colour / borders / pictures / font /  etc...
