No More Flash Drives!

Do you constantly have kids who forgot a flash drive? Do you hate the sound of sobbing when your students find out all the library's flash drives have already been checked out? Did you know...that Google Docs can act as a flash drive?!?!?! It's true! Every one of your kids has a flash drive on hand, online, and it will hold 1Gig of stuff. That is roughly 4 times as much as they can fit on their H drive!

To use this function, they need to open their Google Docs accounts and click Upload under the FISD logo. Then they choose the file they need to carry home with them (any type file can be uploaded!!!) and they should choose to not let Google Docs convert the file into the corresponding Google file type.

When they get home, they can open their Google Docs, and download the file to their home computer. Of course, if it is a Microsoft Word file and they don't have Microsoft Word at home, there may be an issue. in that case, tehy should just convert the file to the Google format, which will then be editable at home. They can always export the file back to a Word Doc when they return to school the next day.

This works for teachers too- you might give it a shot! I personally hate to hear teachers crying when they can't find a flash drive...
