Bringing
Files into the Classroom
There are a
variety of ways to bring your course materials into the classroom
and the following is an overview of some of the choices with a few
pointers.
Network
Drives
Being a part of
the nursing community, you may use the network drives (F:, H:
drives) to transport your files from your office to the classroom.
First, save the file on your network drive, and when you log into
the classroom computer, be sure to log onto the ‘Nursing’ domain.
Your network drives will show up in ‘My Computer’.
Recordable
Optical Media
CD-R discs and
DVD-R discs are becoming more popular to transport data and files.
After burning a new disc, always be sure to check it on a computer
other than the one you created the disc on (this could be the
classroom computer prior to class). This is the best way to double
check your disc and presentation prior to using it because sometimes
just links to files copy onto the disc and it will appear to work
correctly on your computer, but not anywhere else.
There is an
issue with running DVD-R discs on some equipment. Not all discs
will play on all DVD players and computers with DVD drives. If you
have to use a DVD-R disc, please check your disc prior to class to
make sure that you can access your files or play the disc.
USB
Drives
USB drives are
a very convenient and portable way to transport your files. There
are a couple of tips to help you use USB drives in our classrooms.
-
All classroom
computers have front USB ports. DO NOT PULL OUT THE COMPUTER to
access the rear ports because you can damage the cables in the
back of the computer.
110, 111, 112,
113A and 113B’s
USB port is
under a plastic
protrusion at
the front
of the
computer. Please see the
image on the
right.
-
If you are
logging onto the computer using your Nursing account, have your
USB drive plugged in BEFORE you log on. Normally, the USB drive
will take the place of your F: drive.
