Jodie,
Thanks for the "simplified" info!  There are only a few teachers who
actually use the server in our lab, at least this year. (2 - 3)  Starting
with the next school year I will implement this system.
Thanks, Pam Griffin

>We have simplified saving to folders. After following Pam's directions to
>connect to your file server, go back to  your desktop and click once on the
>icon for your file server--mine is named "home". Then use the Apple command
>key and the m key to make an alias. You can then rename it if you want, and
>go to "file/label" and choose a color to make it stand out. Now when  you
>want to save, you can go to "file/save/desktop" and the colored alias will
>appear in the window. just double-click on the alias and you can go to the
>teacher folders on  the server without having to go to apple/chooser. It
>saves quite a few steps.

> Also, we  have trained our students to log to the file server as soon as
>they sit down at the computer, then we know they are connected to the right
>teacher folder when it is time to save.  They can just double-click on the
>alias that is on the desktop.

> Also, when you go to Apple/Chooser to connect to the file server, You can
>click on the box to the far right of the file server, notice the box below
>that says "Checked items will be opened at sysem startup time". Now when
>the machine starts up, it is ready for the logon name and password to be
>entered. My liaison has each class go to "Special/resart" before they
>leave, then the machines are ready for the next class to log to the server.

>It takes some time to get it set up initially, but saves a lot of time and
>frustration down the road. When they are finished, they drag the home icon
>to the trash--remind them to leave the colored one and "trash" the white
>one.
