COMPUTER RULES

-students to save their data files to their own diskettes and not the hard drive
as
 - saves space on the hard drive for software programs
 - provides some protection if computer system ‘crashes’ and data lost on hard  drive (ideally students should make a second back-up diskette copy of their
 diskettes)
 - for primary students, concept of saving a file to a diskette
 separate from the computer is a good one to learn. It may help their
 understanding later of saving a file to a folder on a hard drive.
 Folders on a hard drive might be a more difficult concept for primary  students. A folder with their name might help.
 -especially for primary students, individual diskettes are a simple way
 to organize data so it can be easily retrieved. On a hard drive care must be
 taken to use unique filenames or folders.

 -the grade 3 F.I. 96/7 class had only one  student’s diskette go ‘bad’ during  the year

 -the students’s work on a diskette can be taken with the student to the next  grade/teacher
