Using Teacher Folders (PDF)

Schools with Mac OS X Servers can utilitize the Groups folder to have shared files and hand in folders. This document describes how both students and teachers can utilize this handy capability.
       Using Class/Teacher Folders
Teachers:
To create a document for student use
 1.  Login under teacher name and password.
 2.  Choose Faculty Group.
 3.  Create a document for handout purposes.
 4.  Save to the desktop.
 5.  Open Groups sharepoint.
 6.  Locate and open your teacher folder.
 7.  Drag and drop your document into the Handouts folder.

To access documents students have handed in
 1. Login under teacher name and password.
 2. Choose Faculty Group.
 3. Open Groups sharepoint.
 4. Locate and open your teacher folder.
 5. Open the Hand In Folder.
 6. Drag the student document to the desktop and open it.
 7. You are able to make comments/suggestions on student work.
 8. Go to File to Save. This will save to the desktop copy of the
   document.
 9. Drag the desktop copy into the Hand In Folder. You will be
   prompted to Replace. Click Replace.

To share student work with others (as a teaching tool)
 1. Drag saved document to Shared Work folder. You may rename the
   document if you don’t want the student’s identity known. This will
   allow others to see work, but not alter it. This can be used when you
   want to demonstrate something that was done well or something that
   needs to be addressed.

Students:
To use Handouts/Hand In Folders
  1. Login as student.
  2. Select appropriate group (e.g. – Elementary, Middle, etc.)
  3. Open Groups sharepoint.
  4. Open the appropriate teacher folder.
  5. Open the Handout folder.
  6. Select and drag the appropriate document to the desktop.
  7. Open document and complete assignment.
  8. Go to File to Save As. Students should name the document using their
   own name and a number (or date) identifying which draft they are
   submitting so the teacher can identify whose work and which draft it
   is. Direct the document to save to the desktop. (Example: save as
   JohnSmith#1.cwk or JohnSmithApr4.cwk)
  9. Drag the desktop copy into the Hand In Folder. Students will get a
   message say “You do not have permission to see the results of this
   operation. Do you want to continue?” Click OK.

Note: Each time the student makes a change to his/her work, it must be
renamed when saving or it won’t be able to be put into the Hand In Folder.
