Do you tire of sending yourself documents back and forth from work to home and from home to work? Here's a nice solution:
www.dropbox.com
You install this "dropbox" on your teacher workstation, home computer (free for 2GB of storage-2GB holds a lot of documents); an icon appears on your desktop and within it your documents are stored. One can also access it from other computers (friend's house, hotel, public library, etc.) by simply logging in to www.dropbox.com. You can also share some or all of your folders and documents with others--makes sharing with colleagues very easy!
You can easily move documents into it and can create folders and subfolders within it. After saving a file into it, if you open it to make changes it automatically syncs the changes. I've been using it over a year and still have space left of my free 2GB. If you experience trouble downloading and need the proxy settings, please contact me and I'll send them to you.
If you would like a demo on this, a one hour class is scheduled
Tuesday, April 12, 3:30-4:30 in the Central Services basement lab OR
Thursday, April 14, 4:30-5:30pm in the Central Services basement lab.
You only need to attend one of the sessions!
