Summary

Scavenger hunt of SIUE resources...

Description

Good Students Know Their Computer Resources – A TEAM SCAVENGER HUNT The goal of this group scavenger hunt is for you to demonstrate your knowledge of computer resources available to you, but also to demonstrate to you that YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT if you don’t have the knowledge. ALL OF THIS SHOULD BE DONE AS A GROUP—you need only ONE answer/file for everything. TYPE/PASTE your answers below IN BLUE OR GREEN INK. LIST EVERYONE’S NAMES HERE: Becka and Nikki 1. Decide who is the weakest technology person in your group (if there are two, that’s OK, too). Below, type “We promise that we are going to make Becka and Nikki responsible for learning all of these things as we go along, AND everyone else, too.” 2. Change the margins of this document so that they are 1” on all sides. This is what your margins will always be for APA Style papers. 3. Dr Meinz gets particularly irritated by the fact that MSWord automatically puts extra space between paragraphs for you, and this is a violation of APA Style. Correct this……make sure your document is set so that there is no autospacing BEFORE or AFTER paragraphs. 4. Take a selfie of your group. Name the photo one word that is all of your last names (e.g., MolinaOzunaWong). USING YOUR PHONE ONLY, upload the selfie to the SELFIE link in the Bb course, today’s folder, as an attachment. (Things this may require: Bb app (pencil icon), which you get as part of the SIUE app)

5. Install the OneDrive app on your phone by first logging in to the SIUE portal: portal.office.com, then entering your login info. Then when you’re “in”, you’ll need click a button that says “INSTALL OFFICE APPS”, and then to scroll down to “OneDrive”. (Feel free to install other stuff, too, but OneDrive is most important here.) After you’ve done so, go into the app (you’ll always use “OneDrive for Business” when it asks), and SHARE any file you have there with Dr. Meinz (emeinz)….you MUST type her a message (in the box that pops up when you share) that includes the names of your team members’ names. 6. What is the closest open computer lab to where you are now, and what are its hours today? What is the website address of the location at which you found that information? [hint: you should find this info by finding SIUE’s list of all open computer labs]. Peck Hall 2310 Foreign Language Lab Monday through Thursday 9 am to 8 pm, siue.edu

7. You are taking underwater basketweaving from 11-11:50 MWF this semester. When is your final exam? Provide the date and time and the web address for where you found this information. Type B Monday December 10th at 10 am 8. If you have 3 finals scheduled on the same day, what should you do? [Hint: use the same link as on the last item] Request that one be rescheduled

9. A week from now, we’ll be meeting in computer labs 1140 and 1160 in the Engineering Building. Find a map of the floorplan of the ENG building and somehow paste the relevant part of that map (i.e., for 1140/1160) below (not as a separate document). There are many ways you can do this….be creative. [HINT IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO: have you ever used the “snipping tool”? Go to the “search programs and files” on your computer and type it in, and you can cut an image out of anything you want (don’t forget to paste it below) 10. What is the EARLIEST and LATEST time you can call, or go see someone, at the ITS helpdesks (either location) during the week? Paste in the website where address of the location at which you found that info. Earliest-7:30 am (Library), Latest- 9:30 pm (MUC), https://www.siue.edu/its/helpdesk/ 11. When you need to print stuff for a class, you can do so by sending the file directly to a university printer and then using your CougarBucks to pay your printing fee. Do the following: a. Come to the computer in the front of the room. Make a new document in word that says WE KNOW HOW TO PRINT TO THE SIUE PRINTERS! And put your names after that. Save it on your desktop. b. Find the place online where you can send documents to print at SIUE printers. DON’T LOG IN YOURSELF. DR MEINZ WILL LOG YOU IN TO HER ACCOUNT. After she does so, send the file to the printer at AH1201 (yep, you can google how to do so). c. Borrow Dr. Meinz’s ID to go up and retrieve your copy, and then bring her back your copy. d. Take a picture of your copy and paste it below.

****NOTE: In order to be able to use my ID to print, I had to put $ on my CougarCard, then take my ID to the printer and log in there before my $balance could be used to print. So if you have problems printing to a campus printer, you might have to go swipe your card at a printer and log in before you send a document to the printer to be printed.**** 12. Because the Psychology department loves you, we also allow you (psychology majors only) to print for your psychology classes only in the Psychology Resource Center. Go there and take a selfie of your group with either the Resource Center GA or a printer. Then paste the selfie below.

13. What topic is discussed on p. 16 of the SIUE Psychology Undergraduate Student Handbook? Relevant Department Policies 14. What GPA do you have to have to apply to the Psychology Honors Academy? Paste in the web address where you found that info. 3.50, https://www.siue.edu/education/psychology/undergrad/psychology-under-honorsacademy.shtml 15. What is one thing that you’d still like to know about technology at SIUE (write in below) How to use the snipping tool OR (YES, THAT MEANS YOU ONLY HAVE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOVE OR THE QUESTION BELOW) What is one thing you think other students SHOULD know how to do (technology-wise) at SIUE, but often don’t?...
