Drop Box



Dropbox is a great way to store your data online so that you can access if from anywhere.  Put your files into your Dropbox on one computer, and they'll be instantly available on any of your other computers that also have Dropbox installed.  You can also access them from any computer or mobile device using the Dropbox website because copies are stored on Dropbox's secure servers.  Dropbox provides users with 2GB of online storage for free, with up to 100GB available to paying customers.

Tips for integrating Dropbox into the classroom:  Dropbox is the perfect internet accessory for teachers.  Because we use computers in the classroom, computer lab and a home, accessing the same files in all of these places without trying to keep track of a flashdrive, is incredibly convenient.  In addition, you could Dropbox with your students by starting up a class account and saving documents, photos, videos, etc. that you want all of your students or students' parents to access.

Note: Send me an email to request a personal invitation to Dropbox and we will both receive an additional 250MB of storage space.
