Using Box.net in Education (Report 2)
Box.net is a free resource used to store documents, photos, and more. These files can then be shared and viewed by others just by connecting to the Internet. You can access important files from your desktop, laptop, or mobile phone- no software is needed. Instead of sending attachments or saving files to flash drives that you could forget, just send a link to Box.net, or connect and retrieve your needed materials. Your data will be kept safe and secure and there are no bandwith limits. Your material is not public access. You can create public links by right-clicking, or posting a link on your web site, blog, or wiki. Also, RSS feeds can be automatically created, letting your subscribers receive instant updates. This is a terrific site to store photos throughout the year for your students to use in their projects. Also, parents could log on to see your kids in action.

Every year, a co-worker and I make a picture slideshow at the end of the year for our kids. After hearing about box.net, I am thinking that we could store all our pictures there instead of taking up the space on our laptops at school. This way, both of us could access the photos if needed and it would save space! Also, anyone else that took pictures besides me could put their pictures up there too. We wouldn't have to borrow everyone's camera and cords to get everything in one place. Each teacher that had photos could upload individually:) Definitely something to think about for next year.
