The Tree Directory Structure

A tree or tree directory structure is a hierarchical data structure that organizes


data elements, called nodes, by connecting them with links, called branches.
This structure is used to help display large amounts of information in an easy-
to-read format.

Writing File Paths


This allows you to go exactly to the location of a file or folder on your
computer.

First you write the drive, using the letter that represent that drive followed by a
colon and then a backslash, that it is A:\ for Floppy disk, C:\ for Local Disk,
D:\ for Local Disk and F:\ for Compact Disc. The letter that is used to
represent the drive may differ from computer to computer. However the C:\
drive usually represents the Hard drive.

will be clarified.

Explanation

Students will be asked to focus their

attention on a PowerPoint presentation that

will be shared via a shared screen on

google classroom. A general discussion of

each slide will be conducted and the

student will then be asked to create a file

directory structure in their books. 

Elaborate

Students will then be engaged in a

collaborative discussion where they will

state what they have learned during the

class and what they did not understand.

This will allow clarification of any

misconceptions which the students may

have and further discussion will take place

if it’s needed.
