 * This provides quick access to your applications and files.
 * The icon that appears in the Dock is an alias(shortcut) that points to the original item
 * All applications are in the applications folder, viewable in a new finder window. If an application isn't in the dock, it does not mean that it's not on your computer.
 * Programs like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote can be found in the iWork folder.

//Keychain//
 * Keychain Access is a program that controls the keychains on your MacBook. You can find it under Spotlight (or Applications -> Utilities).
 * Keychains store passwords
 * Most of information is in "log-in" keychain
 * At TSD - we coach teachers and students to ignore them - and not to entire a password into a keychain when prompted. Teachers have special concerns with Keychain, because their password changes every 90 days. We recommend that they delete the log in keychain: find it in the list -> file -> delete keychain -> click Delete all files and references
 * Students - should not have access to administrator passwords. If you find out differently, please let a teacher or Technology Department know
