Dropbox
Have you heard of this great service? It's called Dropbox, and it allows you to store things on your computer and the internet (in your own "dropbox") at the same time. I love it! If you like to take files home to work on them, or you have music or pictures at home you'd like to use in one of your projects, this is a perfect solution. You don't have to worry about losing your flash drive and you can back up your work any time! The first 2 Gigs are free--so you don't even have to pay for it!
Just click this link: http://db.tt/JEysdiE (or copy and paste it) and sign up. It's very easy, and by going through this link you'll earn extra space for yourself and our classroom folder.
