Typing Assignments in a Word Processor and Pasting Them into the Class WebBoard
Because of a word processor's more powerful editing
capabilities, including a good spell checker, thesaurus, and grammar checker
(if yours has these), it is beneficial to type WebBoard
assignments in a word processor and then transfer the text to the class WebBoard instead of typing it directly into the board. Use
the following directions to copy and paste your assignments into the class WebBoard: NOTE: these directions are for Microsoft word
documents. If you use another word
processing program, these may not work the same.
- Write
your assignment in a word processing program (preferably Microsoft
Word). Be sure to save your
document often (on a disk if working from the computer lab or library or
on your hard drive if working from home).
- When
you have finished your assignment and are ready to send it, highlight the
entire assignment by clicking on Edit at the top left corner of your
screen and clicking on Select All.
- When
your entire document is highlighted, click on Edit again, and click on
Copy. You can also use the Copy
icon on the toolbar. Your document
is now copied to the computer’s clipboard.
- Log on
to your class WebBoard by going into the MyMCC Portal.
- Enter
your username and password and click on Login.
·
After you
click on the Student Portal link, click on My Classes. Then you will be asked
for your MCC e-mail username and password that you created when you set up your
MCC mail account. A list of your courses will then appear.
·
Go to the
bottom of the screen to Change Term. Change the term to the current semester.
·
Click
on View Course Tools next to your English 217
course.
·
Then
click on the WebBoard link at the
upper left corner of the page.
·
Click on the Conference (unit) you want to
post an entry in.
·
If you are entering an original entry, click on “Post
a new topic to this conference” in the middle of the page. If you are replying to another student’s
entry, click on Reply. NOTE: Be sure that you are reading the entry you are replying to before you
use the Reply command
- In the
upper left corner of the Message box, click on the right mouse button.
- Click on Paste with the left mouse
button.
- Your
assignment will now be pasted in the Message box.
- In the
topic box, type the name and number of the assignment you are posting.
- Click on "Post" at the bottom of the
"Message" box. Your entry has been sent.
