        Scanning, AirDropping, and Drive, oh my!

        Every Scanning & Printing DEVICE has a GUIDE for PLACING your images/paper 

        This one says that the paper needs to be IN THE CORNER and FACE DOWN
        [You can tell by looking at the folded corner - 
        which side are the LINES on?  The bottom!  So Face DOWN]

        Don't forget to CLOSE THE LID

        The scanning software we use is called IMAGE CAPTURE 
        and it is on all modern Macintosh computers

        Once it is opened you look for connected DEVICES

        Then Choose your SETTINGS
        [For this project we will use the settings below.  
        Make sure you get the NAME field correct]

        When all your settings are correct hit the OVERVIEW button to do a quick scan 

        Use the SELECTION HANDLES to make sure the scanner 
        is getting the part of the picture you want

        Here I have dragged the selection DOWN

        When you are satisfied with your selection,  
        hit the SCAN Button to do the REAL SCAN

        Be patient and follow the progress bar

        When the scan is done it will show up in the SCAN RESULTS window

        See how the scan only got the part of the picture that I had outlined?

        To scan MORE THAN ONE PICTURE at a time
        Keep them SPACED APART on the glass

        Double-Check that DETECT SEPARATE ITEMS is selected

        When all your settings are correct hit the OVERVIEW button to do a quick scan 

        Make sure it is scanning what you expect 
        by looking at and modifying the SELECTION HANDLES
        [NOTE: you can delete the selections and draw new selections to define scan areas yourself]

        Hit SCAN and wait for your items to show up in the Scan Results WINDOW

        And here's those nicely separated pictures all ready to use!





















        Airdrop 
        the wireless file transfer protocol 
        for newer Mac computers 
              • Open FINDER and select AIRDROP on the LEFT
                • [Once you do ALL computers on the OAKLAND network who have Airdrop open will slowly show up in the window]
              • DRAG AND DROP your FILES

        Then...

              • ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ON BOTH COMPUTERS

        Once the files are on your computer
        Move them your STUDENT DRIVE
        Upload a copy to Google DRIVE 
        as soon as you can
