and save properly. Two painful examples this last week for the dangers of not saving properly.
One, an adult on campus worked 3 hours on a very important document and when people were talking to her, didn't pay attention to the file she was closing and said "NO" to the save and lost everything because she hadn't saved at any point during the three hours of work.
Tip #1--Save Often
Two, a student was working on a powerpoint presentation and skipped CCOC to finish it. (No, I don't recommend skipping classes to finish assignments!). He thought he'd saved to a flash drive, but had actually saved to a different drive which doesn't preserve files saved.
Tip #2--Save As
Make sure you save to the correct drive and even better save in two places. Your hard drive (at home) or your folder (at school) and somewhere else--a flash drive, a floppy disk, school loop locker, google docs, anywhere that will give you backup.
