El club de tareas en español comienza el próximo martes en el cuarto de la Maestra Elliot. 4PM-5PM
Estudiantes y ayudantes ¡POR FAVOR VEN!
Daily Learning Target(s):
- I can learn some of the functions of the finder and how its menus and tools work
- Warm-Up: [10]
- Mac 101 - Using the Computers [50+/- continues Monday if needed]
First... where do you take notes for a lecture like this?
- ...and why does John only teach things "once"?
- ..and what do you do if you need help during independent work time?
Turning the Computer On & Off [redux]
- SPACEBAR to see if it is already on
- Power On if needed with the Power Button in the back left - ONE single push
- LOGOUT with
| Log Out Period...
- SHUTDOWN with | Shut Down...
- General
- Hardware vs. Software vs Data
- Where things are stored & how we find them
- Online vs. Offline & version control
The computers USED TO RESET every night
- Everything on the desktop and in documents was DELETED
- All settings were reset
- Only the "Period Drive" was not deleted
NOW, in the new system, you are simply locked out of things that you are not supposed to change
- You can now save things on the computer
- REMEMBER that anyone can sit down and log into this period and see/change/delete your files [seldom happens]
- We will save ALL important files to our GOOGLE DRIVE
Moving and copying files
- OSX (the Mac Operating System) has rules for moving and copying
- NOTE: a DRIVE is a Disk Drive, a physical piece of hardware
- Dragging a file around on the SAME DRIVE the default behavior is to MOVE
- Dragging a file between DIFFERENT DRIVES the default is to COPY - that is what happens with a flash drive by default
- You can FORCE the opposite action to happen:
- To force a MOVE between drives hold down Command (⌘) while dragging and dropping
- To force a COPY on the same drive hold down Option while dragging and dropping
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 things in because you can SORT by clicking on the columns
SPOTLIGHT let's you SEARCH for a file or Application
File NAMES and EXTENSIONS
- There are FEW limits on what a file can be named but "/", ":" and other special characters are usually NOT allowed
- File EXTENSIONS tell the computer what program to use to work with that type of file
- Big List of File Types/Extensions
- BIGGER List of File Types
- Top 15
- .doc/x = Microsoft Word Document
- .pages = Pages Document
- .txt = Plain Text File
- .csv = Comma Separated Values File
- .key = Keynote Presentation
- .vcf = vCard File - Address Book File
- .flv = Flash Video File
- .mp3 = MP3 Audio File
- .m4v = iTunes Video File - SAME AS MP4
- .mp4 = MPEG-4 Video File - SAME AS M4V
- .mov = Apple QuickTime Movie
- .jpg = JPEG Image
- .png = Portable Network Graphic
- .psd = Adobe Photoshop Document
- .pdf = Portable Document Format File
KEYS
- Control vs Option vs Apple/Command
- Mac Key combinations vs Windows
- When we say "Command" on the Mac it would be "Control" on a PC
- Key combinations are pressed and held sequentially and then released all at once
- Command+C=Copy
- Command+X=Cut (and delete if you paste)
- Command+V=Paste
- Some key combinations work before you release them (!!!)
- Let's try "⌘+TAB" - what does it do?
- Look what it does on John's computer with more things open at once
- Some key combinations open a menu or begin a process
- Now try "⌘+Shift+4" - what did THAT do?
- What happens if you use 3 instead of 4?
- Try "Command + F" - what did it do?
- What does "⌘ + P" do?
MENUS
- Menus are at the TOP of the SCREEN and CHANGE depending on which program has FOCUS
- They 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: "EDIT | FIND"
- REMEMBER: Menus CHANGE depending on the program that is in front (so always check THAT before you ask a question)
- Use "⌘+TAB" to cycle programs and place the focus where you want it.
