When I was in elementary school our computers used 5″ floppy disks, then by high school we had switched to 3.5″ floppy disks, by university we had the USB data stick. Now, in my 6th year of teaching we are living life in the “cloud”. Our work is stored in cyberspace waiting for us to retrieve it.

This year I started using Google Drive to transport documents to and from work. It is so much easier than remembering to bring my USB stick and/or my laptop. I can share my documents with my colleagues. It took me a few tries to get the hang of Google Drive, but I am so happy I did. I have the Google Drive app on my laptop so i can drag and drop items into it, but I have also just drag and dropped items into the web browser version of it as well.
Take the technology challenge. Use a “cloud” site to upload your files to for sharing, and moving between work and home.

Thank you so much for sharing this, I must admit, I just bought a new USB drive, but only because it was Darth Vader! What's worse than a computer geek? One who openly admits that she buys a Star Wars USB! 😉 Thanks for linking up!
