Week 10 Ideas & Resources


Ideas for my final project, there are a lot of ideas out there that I can use to demonstrate how to use technology in the classroom.  One of the most simplest but very efficient tools is called Dropbox. Dropbox is a web-based solution for online file collaboration.  Dropbox is a cloud-based technology that allows you store files on the cloud and access them anywhere at any time.  You don’t have to worry about USB flash drives anymore or storing your class data into a flash drive that can fail due to an accidental drop or a water leak, a virus on your computer or in your drive, what about lost or stolen devices, with dropbox you forget about all of that, it’s a headache-free solution for educators. 

As teacher we must have our student data digitally. Security and privacy are more items that we need to consider; with dropbox you don’t need to worry about that.  It’s a hassle to leave all of your data, grades and assignments all in one single location such as your computer, or your office laptop.  Forget about emailing files, worrying about flash drive with full capacity limitations, virus, all those headaches are gone with dropbox which is free and platform independent, works on windows, mac and linux systems.  Some of the features I like the most about dropbox is that it has a very user friendly interface.
