NOTE:
As your career search and report will cover several lessons, you will
need to access the information you create often. Therefore, for the
assignments for these lessons, you WILL NOT be typing the information into box within Moodle. Instead, you will keep all of your information together in one place.

Before you begin to
research your career choice, decide on a method to keep your information
safe. If you are using pen and paper, then please be sure to keep all
of the assignments together in a binder or file folder. If you are
completing the assignments on the computer, be sure to save everything
in a file folder so you have everything in one place. It is also
recommended that you make a backup copy just in case there is a problem
with your computer (for example, on a memory stick). You don't want to
lose all your hard work!
