5. Create additional folders inside that same folder for each of your classes.  

Creating Files (documents, presentations, etc.)

You can create files such as documents or presentation from inside OneDrive, or inside one of your folders within OneDrive.  In order to keep all your files organized, it is recommended that you access your appropriate folder within OneDrive, and then create the document or file.

Once you are in the appropriate OneDrive folder:

1. Click on New
2. Select the appropriate Office 365 application:
   • If you need to type an essay, select Word document
   • If you need to create a slideshow presentation, select PowerPoint presentation

Be sure, once you are in the desired application, to create a meaning name for each file or document that you create.  For more information on how to use each of the Office 365 applications, please see the Microsoft tutorials from Office 365 Training Center.
