Be sure you understand your "S:" drive and how to access faculty pick up, drop off, and shared folders. Know how to create shortcuts in your S: area to things you use frequently, including folders and web locations. Remember that drop off folders work only by dragging - you can't save into them.

You need to understand the following things:

  • Email attachments
  • Zip files
  • Managing folders: moving files around, controlling the view of a folder
  • Creating shortcuts
