Study guide: Find and Organize Pretend Files
Draw Art/Drawing/leaf and Art/Photos/leaf. Copy the drawing into Share, keeping its source. Explain why both path and content note matter.
Ideas to explain in your own words
- A file name helps people recognize saved work. A clear name describes its content; a name such as new-new does not. Names should avoid private information. In the supplied file list, labels describe pretend pictures and recordings so the learner can choose a file without opening every one.
- A folder groups files. A path gives the locations to follow, from an outer folder to an inner one and then a file. The order matters. A file name alone may not identify one file when folders contain copies. Our paper tree supplies every location.
- Copying makes another file while keeping the source. Moving changes its location. Deleting removes the chosen file from the visible collection in this paper model. These actions differ even if their result looks similar in one folder. Check both locations to understand what happened.
- A version is a particular state of a file. A date or version label can help distinguish revisions, but a label alone does not prove the contents. The supplied record lists both labels and descriptions. Choose the version that actually contains the required change.
Useful vocabulary
- file
- Saved information treated as one named item.
- folder
- A group or location for files.
- version
- One state of a file.
Watch your reasoning
- A name can be misleading; use the supplied content note as well.
- Do not stop at a matching file name in a different folder.
- A file appearing elsewhere does not tell whether the source was kept.
- Do not assume the largest version number has a particular change unless the record says so.
A worked review example
Request a drawn garden; notes say garden-drawing is a garden. Which file fits the request? The supported answer is garden-drawing. Use the name whose described content matches the task, and avoid unnecessary personal details. A name can be misleading; use the supplied content note as well. The supplied facts, rather than an assumed real-world detail, determine this paper case. Compare the recorded action or value with the stated rule before choosing an answer. Request title only; v2 is the first file with a title. Which file meets the requested change? The supported answer is v2 title added. Use the supplied content description to verify the requested revision. Do not assume the largest version number has a particular change unless the record says so.
Make a practice plan
- Draw or tell one computing idea from each of the four lessons. Give one example of using each idea.
- Use the example to explain one mistake to avoid.
- Try the unit review before opening the explanations.
- Try the new task on paper or say your answer. Then compare your steps with the example answer.
