Saving

1. Do not save assessment files to your netbook only. Emailing a copy to yourself is a good strategy. Or save to a USB, or H drive.

2. Save work regularly. 3. When opening school email attachments, make sure you save them to a permanent

location, like your H drive, before working on them. Otherwise, email attachments will open in a temporary folder and work on these files may be lost, even though you have clicked the save icon, because they are in a TEMPORARY folder.

4. Photo Story As seen in the image, Photo StoryLets you either a) Save Project- you can keep editing orb) Finish the story- Save your story for playback on your computer. If students click Save Project, their story will only work on the computer they created it on. If the file is wp3, as shown in the next image, it is a project file. It needs to be saved as wmv by choosing “Save your story for playback on your computer” for a presentation that can be

copied/saved that will work on other computers. The reason the sound or images fails to work in a presentation, is usually because it is still a project file.

5. Moviemaker Moviemaker can be saved as

a) a project file- you can keep working on it-but it won’t play on other computersb) finish it, by going to step 3 as shown in the in the image The reel icon, and the extension MSWMM indicate it is still a project file. Clicking the save icon, saves it as a project file. Students must complete Step 3 and Finish Movie to avoid problems like the red crosses and sound not playing in their presentation.
