Let's chit chat about Dropbox. I don't think anyone has talked about that yet and completely out of ideas.
But anyway, Dropbox is an amazing asset that teachers and students can take advantage of. Dropbox is a free It can allow for one way sharing or two way sharing. In most cases, this is used by a teacher who will provide his or her students with a link and they can easily upload their assignment to them.
It can also be used in another way that allows a group of people to all upload assignments but also be able to see and download everything else uploaded. This could be very beneficial to those doing group assignments.
This is one service that was been a huge help to me during school. Doing graphic design, I sometimes have huge files to send. Most of the time, these files are way too large to send by email and even sometimes too big to upload to Blackboard. That's we're Dropbox comes in. If the teacher has a Dropbox set up, a massive file could be quickly and securely sent to them.
I love Dropbox even though I don't have my own. It's wonderful what people will share with it, I've gotten a lot of music & other media this way haha. But as you said, its very useful for sharing large files for school things and such.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of Dropbox before but never have used it. It seems like an easy tool to share information. I love that it is free and anyone can use it. I will be checking out Dropbox in the future.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of dropbox as well but I have never used it! It dies seen like a fairly easy took access and could be great to for organizing!
ReplyDeleteI used DropBox a lot in high school to share pictures with our school photographer. I was the editor of the yearbook and that was our primary way to get pictures into the book. I also made another folder that I shared with other students, so that their pictures can be combed through and put in the book if they were appropriate. Such a useful tool for teachers and students!
ReplyDeleteI only really use DropBox right now for receiving photographs from the photoprapher I know. Otherwise it has always seemed kind of confusing so I was never interested in learning how to use it. However, after reading your blog I am interested in learning more about it!
