Hello. This short video is to help you set up your Career Choice project and go through
how to use your RSUD Learns Google account, how to access it, and then create this project
in your drive. You are going to be creating a presentation, which is very similar to PowerPoint,
and then you are going to be sharing it with your case carrier or your English instructor
so let's get started.
You are going to go on the computer of your choice, whether it be in the library, whether
it be in the computer the lab or in one of your classrooms, and you are going to open
a browser. Chrome works best with Google Drive, however, right now I have my FireFox browser
open. So, I see Google here, Google up here. I am going to look up to the far right and
I'm going to see this button that says "Sign In" and I am going to click on it.
Now, because I use Google a lot, it already comes up and this is my laptop and it comes
up with my identity right away. And it is just asking me to log in with my password.
So you can see the RUSD Learns that you need to put in. Now I am going to sign in. Whoops!
I signed in incorrectly. Sometimes you have to check these things. Alright, there we go.
So, now it shows up here that I am signed in. Here's my little icon right here, my name.
I know I am ready to go. So I want to go to my drive--my drive is where all my documents
are. So, I need to open that. And what's nice right here is I have this little grid and
it says "Apps" so I can look at that "Apps" right here. And I can click on it and it will
take me to my drive. And right now, the triangle is Drive. We used to call it "Google Docs"
so sometimes you might hear some people use the word "Google Docs" but it's "Drive". It
is loading. And I have quite a lot of documents open here but I want to create a new one.
So, I am going over here to the "create" button. I am going to hit "Create" and I am going
to look for "Presentation" and I'm going to click on it. Now, it's asking me "What do
I want my presentation to look like?". How do I want it to look? Remember, a very complicated
and fancy layout looks nice but as you begin to add things to it, it could be a little
hard to read. So I am going to pick a very simple one today. I am going to choose it.
The blue lines go around it and I am going to hit "OK".
Now, I need to give this a title. So I am going to come up here to my far left and it
says "Untitled presentation". Notice as I put my cursor over it, it says "rename", so
I am going to click on it. Now it is asking me to name my presentation. I'm just going
to call mine, for today, "Career Choice". You can call yours "Career Choice" and then
the career it is about if you'd like. Then I'm going to hit "OK". That gives it that
title. Here, I'm going to write it again "Career Choice". And then, maybe you want to be a--you're
looking at being an auto-mechanic. Maybe you're looking at working in a medical office. Please
put the title of what you are looking for in there. Well, we know what my career choice
is. Mine is "Teacher". Then down here I am going to put my name. I'm going to type that
in slowly and make sure it's correct.
The wonderful thing about Google Docs is look right here. Every time I type something in
it, it says "Every change you make is automatically saved in Drive". I don't have to worry about
hitting a little disk icon, or going here and hitting "save". It does it for me automatically.
That's really wonderful. Now, the next I need to do and the last thing we are going to talk
about in this, is I need to share it with my instructor--so my instructor can look at
it, give me feedback on it, and assist me with it. So I am going to hit "Share". Now,
you can see right here that I own it. Here's my email and I want to share it with somebody.
I'm gonna be a little silly here today and I'm gonna put my own email in it. So that
you can also see if you are choosing to share this with me, this is how you would share
it with me, Ms. Jayne-Hutchinson. I'm going to put my email there. You see choices come
up of people that I know share with quite frequently. So there's my email. So if you
wanted to share it with me that is what you would type (djhutchinson@rusdlearns.net).
That's who you would share it with.
Now, over here it gives you some choices. You can edit, can comment, and can view. Since
you are wanting me to assist you with making sure your grammar is correct, your spelling
looks good, your punctuation looks good, you're gonna choose "Can edit". That means whoever
you share this with can make changes to your document or presentation. Then if you want,
you can click "send a copy to myself". That's going to let you know when you have sent this
and what you have sent to your instructor.
Now I am going to click "Share & save". Right here I also have clicked "Notify people via
email". Notify people via email just means it sends somebody a little email and lets
them know that you have shared something with them. So right here I am gonna to click that
and I'm gonna say "This is my career project". Ok, nicely done. Now I'm gonna hit "Share
& save". And there you go. It shows that here's also a link you can send to people. And looks
what pops up on my screen. Here's a little email notification telling me, "Wow, somebody
shared something with me". So, that's why you want to have that.
Now, we are going to click "Done". And then, there you go. It's shared. Let me click. Ok.
It's shared. It has the title here and who it is by. And so now we are all complete.
Thank you!
