Thing 6



This Web 2.0 tool is very helpful. It is essentially an online file cabinet. You can upload different documents into different files, similar to saving documents to a computer. You have the ability to share documents with others who have dropbox as well. You type in their username or e-mail and choose the correct account to share with. Your things may also be private. Another thing that makes this a useful site is when you upload a document to dropbox, you can sign in on any computer and download it. This could be helpful for things such as powerpoint presentations, so you do not have to sign into your personal e-mail where everyone can see what you are doing, giving you more privacy. I could see myself using this when I become a teacher for multiple things. If there was something I wanted to work on at home for work, but did not have my work computer at home with me, I could work on it at home, upload it to dropbox, and download it on my work computer. Also, if there were assignments or projects that I wanted to share amongst other teachers in my grade, I could do the same.
