YOUR TASKS
1. On your home/class computer create a folder called: COURSE 22-23
*if you don't have a computer, create it on a flash drive.
2. Inside this folder create a folder structure similar to the one in the
example, with all your subjects in this course.

Task 1:
• Create a text document (Word) whose name will be: XXX_Basic Skills.doc
(where XXX will be your initials) and save it in the TASKS subfolder of the
TECHNOLOGY folder.
• In that document insert a SCREEN CAPTURE which must show the
document inside the tasks folder of technology.
• Convert the Word to .pdf to upload it to the virtual classroom.
Task 2 (at home):
• On a blank piece of paper, write your first name, last name, group and
draw a “technological object”, no matter what.
• Then transfer it to digital format (PDF) as we have seen before and save
it in the TASKS subfolder of the TECHNOLOGY folder.
• Rename the file and call it XXX_Scan.pdf (where XXX will be your initials).
• Upload that scanned drawing in .pdf to the virtual classroom.
