Building a Digital Kit

Set up media folders: one main folder named for your topic and then subfolders for pictures, audio, video, teacher materials.
Search for files and then download and save them to the desktop, sorting them into the appropriate folders as you go.
For each file you download, copy a citation for where the file is from and then paste it into a citations word processing document. Do this after you download each file or else you will forget what file came from where and you will have a desktop full of files with no idea where they are from!
Archive the kit or distribute it via flash drive, shared drive, or CD.
