• Connect to the classroom file server

Topics Discussed:

• OSX Mojave
• Microsoft Word
• File Servers and Volumes

Assignment:

1. Connect to the server by activating the Finder (Click on your desktop wallpaper), and using the Go -> Connect to Server menu command, or the keyboard shortcut (Command + K).
2. The server address is afp://10.4.22.151  Enter this in the address field and click the blue Connect button.
3. Connect as a Guest by clicking the “Guest” button and clicking the Connect button.
4. Scroll down in the list and select the “StudentTempFiles” volume and click OK.
5. Navigate through StudentTempFiles to the “Marmolejo CGD 1-2” folder. Drill down through this folder to the Student Drop Folder, find your period number and locate the target folder for today’s assignment (1 – I Want to Learn…).
6. Launch Microsoft Word (Launchpad -> Microsoft Word) and write a few sentences describing  what you would most like to learn in this class and why you would like to learn this. (Do you want to learn how to design magazine covers? Edit digital photographs? Enhance your drawing skills using computer tools? Draw cartoons? Make art?) Make sure you use proper grammar and run a spell check before you are finished. Save this file with your name as the file name. It should automatically save to your Documents folder. Remember the location of this document.
7. To hand in this assignment, copy (drag and drop) the file you created from your Documents folder to the appropriate target folder on the StudentsTempFiles server. (StudentsTempFiles/Student Drop Folder/<Your Class Period>/1 – I Want To Learn…).
8. This method of handing in assignments was the method we used to use for every assignment, before we gained access to Google Classroom. It still serves as a good backup method for collecting files that will still work in the unlikely but possible event that we cannot access Google Classroom over the Internet. Regardless, it still serves as a good exercise, as now you know how to connect to network shares using OSX Mojave, as well as how to upload files to a specific location on the local network.
