Welcome to DATAtech - the "Exploring Multimedia" class taught by Mr. Hicks
DATA @ Ed White Middle School
GETTING STARTED
- Learn classroom procedures and expectations
- Disinfect as you come in
- Sign in on the Attendance Form
- Get out your planner and stack your backpack
- Drop off your phone in the Phone Bank
- Log in and fill out your Planner
- Review Weebly portfolios from former students to get an idea of what we've made in the past. No two years are exactly the same and THIS year is no different, for sure! :-)
"My Favorite Things" project
Choose 3 categories to write about things you like:
- Skip "Video Games", "Books" and "YouTubers", for now
- "Colors" cannot be solid blocks of color - must have detail
- Appropriate images only. Ask if not sure.
MAKING A LOCAL FOLDER
- Highlight and use Ctrl-C to copy this text:
220815 My Favorite Things - Project Folder - Open the File Explorer app on your computer (It has a folder for an icon. Type "file" in the search box if you don't see it on the taskbar.
- You must click on "This PC" on the left side to then navigate to OneDrive. Click on the arrow symbol (>) next to items in the directory "tree" to view their sub-folders. VERY IMPORTANT - Do NOT use the "Quick Access" section of that directory tree. KNOW where your files and folders truly are.
- Use the "New Folder" icon in the upper left if you are not sure how to make a new folder in the OneDrive folder.
- Paste the text you copied above for the folder name.
SAVING A BLANK WORD DOCUMENT
- Start the program on your computer called Microsoft Word. Type "word" into the search box if you can't find it easily.
- Choose the blank document template (the first one on the list).
- Use the menu options for "File" and "Save as" to save the blank document in your new project folder that you made in your OneDrive folder. You will need to "Browse" to this folder.
- After selecting File and Save As, find "This PC" on the directory tree.
- When it "opens up" (shows you more sub-folders) click on OneDrive.
- When it opens up, click the project folder you just made a moment ago.
- Copy and Paste (Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V):
220815 My Favorite Things - Lastname, Firstname
as the name of the document. Change the names to your own names, of course!
