Managing Digital Assets
Welcome! This week will be a little different. We’re going to deep dive into a critical part of working with digital tools – managing digital assets. It’s one thing to search the Internet, but what do you do with the materials you find? And when you begin to create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, where should you store them safely and how do you organize them efficiently? This week we’ll show you how managing your files will help you work smarter and faster.
