Saving Files to the Network with the CCPCS Netbooks

Students must save all their files to their personal drives on the network. Any documents saved to the hard drives will be hard to retrieve, if they are not lost altogether.

Saving student (and teacher) work to the server is different for Mac and Windows computers.

Saving on the Netbooks


On a Windows computer, like a Netbook, the server will automatically add a student's folder as a drive under "Computer".  It will be titled with the student's username, along with the name of the server in parentheses: "costello."  You can navigate in this folder by selecting it and selecting any sub-folders to save within.


Accessing Network Files


In order to access Network files, click on the Windows flag in the bottom left corner of the screen, then click Computer. Scroll to "Computer" on the left-side navigation. Choose the username, listed under "Network Location". Students should also be able to see a "Public" folder, where they can save material that other students or teachers can access. (Public folder not pictured below).
