Computer Lab Items

• Bring all of your supplies and research to the lab for easy accessibility
• Do not rely on your group members to do all the work, share tasks and embellish your research.
• Save your work early (not when the light is on!) and often. The computers can shutdown or freeze at anytime. Believe it or not it is not just because they are Macs.
• Make a copy of the file that you plan to put in your teacher’s drop box.
• Save your file with your name, period, and assignment title: Kory7native.
• Do not leave the computer lab until the light is on or your teacher dismisses you and whatever you do, please log out so no one can mess with your desktop images or files.
• Always be prepared to turn an assignment in no matter where your partners or group members may be. Due dates are due dates so protect yourself at least.
• Do not print unless absolutely necessary. If printing from a website or multiple websites, please copy and paste into a Word file.
• Always use correct citations for your web research. Random “Google searches” are not appropriate not are they academic at all. A simple website citation for a bibliography includes website name, URL (website address), and the date you viewed the site.

• Never use thumbnails for a PowerPoint picture or iMovie presentation. Click one more time to find the original source photo and always use documentation with a bibliography.
• Use the dock at the bottom of the screen to open your programs instead of the hard drive.
• Never use a smaller font than 20 on PowerPoint presentations. This way your audience does not have to squint!
• Each student image only has 50 MB of space, but that should be sufficient for school projects aside from iMovies which will be saved on the hard drive of the computers being used.
• All assignments will be dropped in my dropbox for classroom viewing and presentations. You may also drop items into your partners dropbox or other members of a group.
• Hit the connect button and type in your password.
• Username: graduation date/last name and first name (no spaces and no caps) – 1992kalaharkory
• Password: Six Digit Student Number – 123456

Find your image and begin working!

The image that will appear is your image. No one can do anything to your image but you unless you tell them your password or leave your computer logged in. This way you can save things to your desktop or in an appropriate folder. Remember Macs save where they think you want them unless you tell them otherwise. Music goes to the music folder, movies go to the movie folder, and most everything else goes to documents. Be careful
