Print these instructions.

The following procedure has many steps, which are perhaps easier to follow when you print and check them off as you go. Hide/close + the previous section to avoid printing too many pages.

1.1 Connect to OSU's new Virtual Private Network (VPN).

OSU no longer requires/recommends Virtual Private Network (VPN) when using a public wi-fi connection to access Canvas. However, to access some materials, you might need to connect using VPN.

This is not a graded activity, so skip it if you won't need it.

Read about why you might need it, then direct all technical difficulties to the OSU Service Desk.

1.2 Add a course folder in Documents.

For this course, you may not save files to the Desktop/Finder because they get stored in the Random Access Memory (RAM) instead of a more efficient area of the hard drive, which is called the Documents folder. Freeing up RAM will help ensure fast and efficient processing. Also, Desktop/Finder folders might not get included in automatic backups.

• Windows
  Click on the Documents folder of your computer's hard drive, then click the yellow Folder icon at the top of the Explorer window. Another way to make a folder is to right-click on Documents > New > New Folder. And other way is to use the keystroke CtrlShiftn. Rename the folder CS 101.

     Most Chromebooks do not have a trash can. Files that are deleted are no longer accessible.
     Files stored on your Google Drive, however, can be deleted manually. The deleted files directory is set to remove them permanently every 30 days. Learn more: Delete and restore files in Google Drive. and Manage files in your Google Drive storage.

1.4 Login to OSU cloud drives: Google, Microsoft, and Box.

OSU, as well as many other businesses that you might work for in the future, use cloud applications and file storage to increase ease of sharing among devices and teams.

1.4.1 Why use three drives?

• OSU G Suite drive. This cloud drive will allow you to share Google Application files with the Instructor as well as download copies to your computer's hard drive so you have two copies.
• OSU OneDrive drive. This cloud drive will allow you to login with your OSU credentials and upload/backup copies of your Microsoft Office files, as well as share them with the instructor.
• OSU Box drive. This cloud drive will allow you to upload copies of any file so you have two copies.

Apple iCloud drives are not supported by OSU or this course.

Use your OSU credentials (ONID email/userID and password) to login to the drives listed below then add a folder called CS 101 to each:

• 1.4.2 Google Drive

  Make a CS 101 folder on your OSU Google Drive in the My Drives area.
  1. Login to drive.google.com with your OSU ONID username and password.
  2. + > New Folder.
  3. Name the folder CS 101.

• 1.4.3 Microsoft Drive

  Make a CS 101 folder on your OSU Microsoft Drive.
  1. Sign in to onedrive.com with your OSU ONID username and password.
  2. New > Folder.
  3. Name the folder CS 101.

• 1.4.4 Box Drive

  Make a CS 101 folder on your OSU Box Drive.
  1. Login to Box.com with your OSU ONID username and password.
  2. New > Folder.
  3. Name the folder CS 101.

1.4.5 Manage multiple cloud accounts with private browsing.

To avoid sign-in conflicts with multiple OSU and personal cloud accounts, experts recommend that you login to personal accounts using a private or incognito browser window and login to OSU cloud accounts with a regular browser window to ensure all login sessions stay intact.

One of the main reasons to work in private browsing mode is to avoid having your search history used for advertising in social media and other sites. It is also helpful when using someone else's computer temporarily. If you are booking travel, the airlines will use your search history to increase prices on subsequent searches, so go incognito!

1.5 Take a cropped screenshot.

Take a horizontal, cropped screenshot of your hard drive and cloud drive folder organization:

1. Place a Finder/Explorer window on the left side of your screen.
2. In Chrome browser, Ctrlor ⌘n to add a new Window. Move the window to the middle of your screen and navigate to your Google Drive. Display the files in a vertical list if they aren't already. Ensure the new CS 101 folder is visible.
3. Ctrlor ⌘n again to add another window. Move the window to the right side of your screen and navigate to your OSU Microsoft OneDrive. Display the files in a vertical list if they aren't already. Ensure the new CS 101 folder is visible.
4. Ctrlor ⌘n again to add another window. Move the window to the far right side of your screen and navigate to your OSU Box drive. Display the files in a vertical list if they aren't already. Ensure the new CS 101 folder is visible.
5. Use one of the following methods to take a single cropped screenshot of all four windows side-by-side.
   There is no need to include other parts of the screen. We want to read the folder names without zooming in. So, that means you must crop close to the four windows, just like the screenshot above.
   • Windows
     Besides using the PrintScreen button on the Windows keyboard, you can use the Snipping Tool for more control.
     1. Start → All Programs → Accessories → Snipping Tool
     2. New → Rectangular Snip to select just the portion of the window and screen you need to show.
        
     Or, newer Windows computer systems may use the Snip and Sketch tool's WindowsShifts keystroke.
   • MacOS
     Besides using ⌘Shift3 to capture the screen, or ⌘Shift4 to capture a selection of the screen on a Mac, you can use the Preview application to capture, edit, and save the file.
     1. Applications → Preview → File → Take Screenshot → From Selection
     2. Drag the crosshair cursor over the area you want to capture.
        
     3. Edit as needed.
     4. Or, you can use the searchsearch bar on the top right of the Finder to search "screenshot." The screenshot crosshair cursor will pop up automatically. Select the area you want to capture and it will save a file to the Desktop. Edit as needed.

   • Besides using CtrlShift to capture the screen on a Chromebook, you can capture a selection:

     1. CtrlShift
     2. Drag the crosshair cursor over the area you want to capture.
        
6. Save as the file as .png (or .gif for simple imagery and .jpg for more photographic imagery.) Rename the saved file to correlate with the subject of the image, such as cs101-folders-four-drives.png.

1.6 Insert the screenshot into a word processing document.

Besides adding the screenshot, you'll be writing about what you're learning. And, when writing for discussions in this course, you'll want to write at least 150 words per paragraph. In many cases, you'll want to write much more, due to the interesting concepts and events worth explaining.
