Saving Content Safely

In the upcoming weeks you will be creating your digital story. To do this, you will require a number of ICT elements to be created. In order to ensure you can submit your final product and receive the best mark possible, it is important to have all the elements you have created within it. However, if you do not save your work correctly, you may lose your awesome work.

This lesson you have been taught the importance of saving your digital content as well as how to do so through the use of folders. Complete the file extensions activity below to demonstrate your understanding.
