Since this class is not only about Graphics but about technology in general, I’m going to introduce you to one online tool you can use and you’ve already created an account to use it!! Google Docs is a tool that you use with your Gmail Account (AKA Google Account). You can create new or upload existing documents, spreadsheets, or presentations. What’s even better is that you can share the docs with me and I can edit or comment on them! Here’s a link to a file that you will use today. Now, you can’t edit it right now because I’ve only shared it with you to view, but I’m going to show you how to make a copy, rename it and share it with me.
1. Click the link to open the file.
2. Under the File Menu, click “Make a Copy…”. Click Yes when the box appears. You don’t want to copy collaborators.
3. At the top , click on the file name that says “Copy of Piracy Webquest11” and rename it as follows “Block# Last Name, First Name – Assignment Name” for example “2B Smith, Jennifer – Piracy Webquest”
4. On the top right, click the down arrow next to share and type my gmail email address into the box that says “Add People”. Make sure that you allow me to edit (right next to that box). Uncheck “Notify people by email.” I know you are sharing these files; I don’t need to get an email notifying me. Click “Share and Save”. Click “Close”.
5. That’s all you have to do! Your file is now shared with me and as you answer the questions, I’ll be able to see your work.
Do this today in class. I am asking you to read and interpret what you have read in your own words. Please do not copy and paste your answers, I will consider that a non-answer.
