This week the students are learning about the computer file system. We will talk about:
The students will select an application of their choice. They will save their work. Then they will continue working on it some more. After they have made some more changes, they will use "save as". Then they will look in their personal folder to see that both versions are there.
- when you use "save" and when you use "save as"
- how folders work
- how the computers at the school are networked, so they can talk to each other
- why it's important to save your file in your "personal folder" and not in "my documents" or the "desktop"
- how "my computer" shows you all the storage devices available
- how you can store documents, pictures, videos, and audio
- how to generate different views of the files
