I've been mining for a couple of years, single-player with occasional LAN. Recently I fell into Tekkit and have found that I enjoy modifying textures as much as tinkering with electricity. With much Googling, I've managed to download a number of texture packs and copy them to the appropriate folders, with immensely gratifying results. But unless someone can point me to a modding-for-beginners guide, I'm going to have a lot of questions for you folks, and would appreciate help directing those threads to the appropriate forums.
Looking forward to hearing from folks who enjoy teaching (like myself).
More about me:
I love teaching and promoting social justice, but need quiet time to rejuvenate, and MC fills that need. I'm content mining tunnels, or building roads, and similar monotony, but would like to learn how to create share-worthy content, such as tutorials, especially vids and in-game manuals.
My family also enjoys Skyrim together, but I don't care for FPS like Overwatch and Warframe. I prefer RPGs, simulators, and games that combine those aspects:
I'm always reading at LEAST one book (in audio format) and recently invested in several by Terry Pratchett since I never get tired of his Discworld series. Other favs include Ender's Game, The Lord of the Rings, and The War That Saved My Life.
I love music (sing and dance), and critters (have cats and bird), and ethnic food (esp Thai).
Cheers!

Is it important to put .jar files in .minecraft/mods ,
.schematic files in .minecraft/schematics ,
modpacks and texturepacks in .minecraft/resourcepacks?
or can all of those get dumped into a single folder of .minecraft and still function? Of course, the organization aspect is great, but does it affect playability to have file types in the 'wrong' folder?
Along the same lines: can I create additional folders/subfolders without hampering the game's ability to load the functional bits of .jar files etc? For example, can I create a speedyshaders folder and a clunkyshaders folder and organize the .zip files accordingly? When I enable shaders the gui offers me the 'shaders' folder (that I created, when advised by shaderpack creators) but I should be able to easily navigate to other folders from there, if desired.
Are there any aspects of modding that MUST go into particular folders (or must NOT be put
into certain folders without dire consequences)?

Well with mods Minecraft looks into specified folder (in this case the /mods) so if you put it outside here Minecraft / (Forge Mod Loader) won't know about that mod and it won't be loaded at all. I expect it to be the same case with shaders.
