Dropbox Bonanza « Epic Epoch
"The hands-down best reason to use Dropbox for a teacher, is the extremely easy way to file share. Once you create a folder and set access permissions for who can view and manipulate the files, all you have to do is drag and drop an item (i.e. Word doc, Flipchart, picture, song, video clip, etc.) into that folder and PRESTO! it’s automatically synced on your colleague’s computer."
Google Docs Makes It Easier to Recognize Updates
"If you have students sharing work with you via Google Docs, the new bolding option should make it easier for your students to recognize the edits and suggestions you've made to their writing. "
