I was looking for the case that holds my flash drives the other day and I starting thinking if I really needed these things anymore. I hope not, because i haven't found them yet! I have multiple Google accounts, a Dropbox, Copy, and Box account. I even have some storage on Amazon, I think. Never has there been a time when so much free online storage is out there for the taking. I have found myself using Dropbox for school. It is easy to use, installs on all my computers, and works with my iPad. I stopped taking my 1TB Transcend portable hard drive to school because I found my self just using Google Drive and Dropbox. I had my students sign up for Dropbox accounts under me and my storage room has expanded nicely. I think that if you add up all my space over my various websites I may have over 100GB of storage. Not a bad chunk-o-space! For free
That's great! But why don't educators take advantage of this stuff. If you are reading this, do you use online storage? Who, what, how much do you have? I want to know what you use and if your co-workers use this free storage. And what do you use it for? I am going to make it my mission to get at least 10 teachers in my building to sign up for Dropbox. Then I am going to show them how to use it for school and their lives outside of school, if they have them. You should do this too!
Rant over!

Today our county's internet went down...and I have nothing, except for the dropbox files that were already synced with my computer. I might not have my new stuff, but I still have something.
