Which one is the correct folder name? MrHamiltonsICTLessonsYear7 Ooiasjfoijsadfjo Year 7 ICT Computing This is really aimed at getting students using computers. I went into primary schools and some students are so used to using Ipad’s that they don’t know how to use a mouse or create folders. Get the students to create a set of folders and get them to create every folder. If students have deleted all of their folders, get them to create some new ones. Get them to understand that they’re required to make sure that they name their files properly. All of their future assessments will require the students to show you that they’ve named their file and stored it in a folder.
