5. Now browse to the file you want to upload (these will be Word docs or PowerPoint files).

6. As your document uploads, do the following: A. Give your document an official title. I like to type these out ahead of time in Word with correct spelling and capitalization so that I can just copy and paste them into the title box. Example: Buffy H. Senior Project Work Log 2011-12 B. Tags: we will use senior project 2011-12 C. Category: Choose “education” D. DO NOT check the “allow file download” option; leave this unchecked to protect your work E. Description: this box is optional—if you would like to provide a brief description of the document, you may.

7. Now press “save changes” to the right of the description box.
