Q1 Cloud Storage: An Organized Folder
Creating a folder
Let’s get set up for this Thing! This first activity is creating a folder to use throughout the Thing. You will be using this folder throughout the Thing to keep yourself organized.
Activity 1: Creating your folder. You will be using this folder throughout Thing 4 to keep yourself organized and share your work with your teacher.
- Use the folder name: Name_Thing 4; for example, Tina_Thing 4.
- Play the appropriate video to learn how to create the folder in your (Google) Drive or (Microsoft) OneDrive.
- This document (Creating a Folder) will also walk you through the steps with screenshots for both Drive and OneDrive.
Activity 2: View & Think individually about the image below and then turn to a partner to discuss your thoughts.
- Discussion Question: Which room do you think would be easier to find a missing item in? Why?
Activity 3: You will learn how to set up and organize your cloud storage. Just like finding items in a clean bedroom, it is much easier to find what you are looking for in a cleaned-up and organized space.
- Follow each of the steps in the appropriate Organization app to practice these skills.
