Some Advice from a Teacher
Setting Up the Computer


find that creating a desktop folder for each student is a simple and easy way for everyone to keep track of their work. I also create aliases (or shortcuts) for the tools they'll be using - SimpleText, Notepad, Netscape, Explorer, Photoshop, etc. - along the side of the desktop. I then teach the kids how to drag and drop their images and HTML documents onto these icons in order to view their work, and I show them how to save documents to their folders. At the end of each session, all their work is backed up on their individual disks.

Now that the computer is ready to go, what should the first lesson be?
