I demonstrated how to use Dropbox. I love Dropbox - I mentioned in the video that the group of women in Cohort B who are doing Language Arts for their endorsement have a shared Dropbox folder that we use from time to time for projects, or just to share resources, which has been pretty cool. As a resource, Dropbox is great: it ensures that you will always be able to access your files, from anywhere, without having to worry about carrying your computer around or making sure you've remembered your USB or external harddrive. It is easy to set up, easy to update, easy to access - all in all, a really fantastic tool. This could even be useful as a tool in the classroom: for example, you could set up a shared class Dropbox folder (or several, for different groups), and students could share work, resources, ideas - even do peer editing through Dropbox. I love using it, and am certain that I will do so throughout my teaching career, both for work and outside of work.
