    Mac 101 - Using the Computers
    What is what and... how John writes instructions
    • KEYS
      • Keys you press are written in quotes like this: "⌘"
      • If you need to press multiple keys they will have + signs like this: "control + ⌘"
      • That means you press "Control" and then while still holding "control" you also press "⌘"
        • Let's try "⌘+TAB" - what does it do?
        • Now try "⌘+Shift+4" - what did THAT do?
        • The "Command" key on a Mac is kind of like the "Control" key on a PC.  Try "Command+F" - what did it do?
    • MENUS
      • Menus are at the TOP of the SCREEN and usually say things like "File" and "Edit" and "View"
      • If you need to press multiple menu items they will have "|" [bar] signs between them like this: " | ⌘"
      • Menus CHANGE depending on the program that is in front (so always check THAT before you ask a question)
      • Use "⌘+TAB" to cycle programs 
    • Turning the Computer On & Off
      • ON with the Power Button
      • OFF with  " | Shut Down..."
    • The computers RESET every night
      • Everything on the desktop and in documents is DELETED
      • All settings are reset
      • Only the "Student Drive" is not deleted
    • The "Data Drive"
      • Upper RIGHT CORNER of your desktop
      • Is NOT backed up
      • Students should have a FLASH DRIVE in order to keep their digital work safe
    • The FINDER is your friend! 
      • The FINDER is how you view the files where they are physically stored on the hard drive.
      • The finder has VIEWS and SORTS
      • The LIST VIEW is the easiest to find thinks in because you can SORT by clicking on the columns
    • SPOTLIGHT let's you SEARCH for a file or Application
    • Moving and copying files
      • OSX (the Mac Operating System) has rules for moving and copying
        • On the SAME DRIVE the default is to MOVE
        • On DIFFERENT DRIVES the default is to COPY
        • To force a MOVE between drives hold down Command () while dragging and dripping
        • To force a COPY on the same drive hold down Option while dragging and dropping
