Ed-Tech list members,
I am in Orlando, at the Redesign Alliance Conference. While driving up today I listened to a number of podcasts. One of them mentioned drop.io. (The “i” is pronounced as a long “e”.) I think this is one of the neatest file sharing system I have seen. It could be really useful for creative writing or composition classes, where you want everyone to read each others papers. Have them upload them to a drop.io site, and everyone can have access to them.
Rather than write all the details here, let me refer you to my wrvTips blog entry at http://tinyurl.com/2cu78k. I even created a sample site that you can play with.
This also might be of interest to people who want to share files for other reasons. For example, pictures of a wedding or a new baby, a research paper that you are collaborating on, or documents for a committee to work on together. I am really impressed with this implementation. It might be worth your time to read my blog entry.
