Open in Integrated terminal

[tiagocostapt]

There are several labs/instructions that ask students to open the integrated terminal using the shortcut menu:

• "In the Visual Studio Code window, activate the shortcut menu for the Explorer pane, and then select Open in Integrated Terminal."

I have been asked so many times what that is... Many students are not heavy users of VS Code and don't understand the instruction. Can we change the instruction to make more sense to everyone?

I agree with this suggestion but I'm afraid that we would have lots more questions on how to use cmd, PowerShell, and how to navigate to the folder that contains source code.

What do you think? @JeffKoMS

@msftnutta my suggestion is to replace that instruction with something like: "In Visual Studio Code use the select Terminal in the top menu and then select New Terminal
Then if needed to make sure they are in the right folder an instructions to change the directory (if needed).

@tiagocostapt I have skimmed through all labs, and yeah, looks like some labs have a hard-to-understand step to open Terminal in VS Code. Ill do the PR to update lab instructions by this week.
