Saving your Project (hint: Save often :-)

 

File Name:

First name and last name initial of both students and period. Ex: AnthonyBSeanHPer2

 

Where to save:

To connect to the server, click on the GO menu at the top, select “connect to server” Then click on the EGHS Thundering Herd Zone.  You should see Beagle in the right hand window --- sometimes it takes a few seconds to connect.  Select BEAGLE.  Then students need to type the username EGMath (there may be a name there that they’ll have to delete first) The new password is EGstu#1

 

 

You should also be able to use a portable hard drive (stick) if you want to work on your project over the weekend.
