P Drive

Teacher Side of Public (P Drive)

• You cannot save to that side

Student Side of Public (P Drive)

• You can view documents

• You can change those documents

• You can save to that side

Your USB Drives

• Flash, thumb, jump drives– All are the same thing with different names!

• Save most work to these

• Back them up at home or on your H drive

File Responsibility

• Make a file – save immediately.

• Know WHERE you saved it.

• Call it something logical.

• Create a system for self about WHERE you save– Flash AND H:– Flash AND home

Lost Files

• We have little ability to find things when you put them somewhere.

• Can’t meld plastic (we’re working on it, though)– Those flash drives AREN’T perfect!
