BHS TECHNOLOGY TASK 5

WORD and Picture Attachments

BEGINNER LEVEL – Sending a WORD document as an attachment.

(1) Open WORD and type a paragraph or two containing information about yourself that your students and parents might like to know. You might include family information, hobbies, educational background, etc. I will use this on the Faculty webpage that your classroom webpage links from.

(2) Save the document into your F: drive. (Remember that you might or might not see the drive letter, but F: drive is the top one that has your username + other info… Ex: bgarnett on Bhs\Sys\Users\Teachers\bgarnett )

(3) Close WORD and open GroupWise email.

(4) Click the Compose button.

(5) Click the Attach button on the right side.

(6) Click the Browse button and look in your F: drive for the file. When you find it, double-click it (or single-click it and then single-click Open).

(7) Click OK. This should put you back at your email screen, where you may click in the To: box and type in bgarnett

(8) Click Send.

INTERMEDIATE LEVEL – Adding a web picture to the WORD document.

Compose the document explained in the Beginner Level; however, before emailing it as an attachment, complete the following additional steps:

(1) Open Internet Explorer and navigate to the BHS faculty page. (http://www.tipton-county.com/bhs/faculty.htm)

(2) Click on your name to get to your faculty page.

(3) Right-click your picture and choose Save Picture As.

(4) When the Save Picture box opens, choose your F: drive from the Save In box, and click Save.

(5) On your bio page, put the curser where you want to place the picture.

(6) Click Insert / Picture / From file and navigate to your F: drive. Double-click the picture (or single-click it and then single-click Insert). You may resize the photo by dragging the CORNER handles toward the center of the picture. (Dragging from the corner handles keeps the picture in proportion.)

(7) Save the file and send the attachment as explained in the Beginner Level.

WIZARD LEVEL – In addition to saving your Faculty page picture, insert a digital camera picture or scanned picture into the Beginner Level document.

There are too many different brands of digital cameras and scanners for a detailed explanation of this level; however, the principle remains the same.

(1) Digital camera:

a. Take the photo (maybe of one of your classes?)..

b. Connect the camera cable (if necessary) and download the pictures to your computer. Make sure that you know where the pictures are being saved.

c. Follow the instructions for attaching the photo in the Intermediate Level, but choose the picture from the area of the network or hard drive where the camera saved the photos.

(2) Scanner:

a. Scan the photo and save it to your network drive, making sure that you know where it is being saved.

b. Follow the instructions for attaching the photo in the Intermediate Level, but choose the picture from the area of the network (or hard drive) where it was saved.

Save and send as an attachment (explained in the Beginner Level above.
