Dropbox in the classroom

There is not enough time during the contract day. If you're anything like me than chances are, you work at home too. Before I had dropbox I would create things and email them to myself. Once I got to school, I'd have to download it and re-save it if I made any changes to it, then I would re-send it to myself. That got old really fast, so I decided to try the jump drive route. I would work on things at home and then magically forget to bring it to school or visa versa. I even lost it a time or two. That was not working either. My husband had used dropbox in the past to share files with other people so I decided to give it a try.

I love it. It allows me to work at home and save it to my dropbox folder. When I get to school, I can click on my dropbox folder and all my creations are there! I love that I don't have to re-save or re-send anything. I just downloaded the program on each computer that I would be using it on and ta-da!

Another feature that I love about it, is that even if I'm not at home or at school, I can still access my files, by visiting my online account. It also let's me share folders with other people. Here at my school, the third grade teachers have a dropbox folder we share. It makes it quick, easy, and very accessible to share with others.

If you're having file accessing issues, dropbox is a wonderful option!
