Throughout the year you will be required to manage your files and keep evidence of the work you have done. Good file management is important, organising your documents means that you can find things quickly, keep track of versions and submit your work for evaluation. File management is a personal thing and we all like to organise things our own way, however for Digital Technology it helps if we all work with the same structure. It enables your teacher to find your work with ease and ensure that all the documentation is in one place for submission of your assessment evidence for NZQA.
