• Saved projects are automatically saved to the "Projects" folder
• If you would like to manage the projects that your students save, I would recommend creating a free dropbox account and installing the application on each student computer. Then instruct the students to save their projects to a class folder in the dropbox. This will allow the students to open and save their projects from any computer and give the instructor the ability to see and manage all the projects as well.
