File Management

• All files are to be saved on the server
• By doing so you will be able to have access to
  them on any computer that is networked in the
  building.
• Example You can work on a paper in Ms. Jones
  room and if you saved it correctly you can pick
  right up where you left off and open it up in the
  library or computer lab.
• Your files will also be safe from harm
• For example If the computer crashes and needs to
  be replaced it will not matter because it is on
  the server. Also, nobody will be able to erase
  them unless they have your password
• This is where Mr. Gavin will assess your work
• For Example I will make corrections and
  suggestions directly on your file. If your work
  is not saved on the server you will not receive
  credit for your hard work
• Saving on your desktop will slow your computer
  down
• How do I do all of this?
