Drop.io



What is ... drop.io? In simple terms, drop.io is a file sharing site. But, there is much, much more to it. With drop.io, you can upload files of any size, and share them with people. You can also make notes and comments on those files.


Uses in eduction. This is a great resource to allow students to upload assignments for the teacher to have access to. This would allow students to "turn in" their assignments at any time, from any place that would have internet access.

This could also be a tool that the teacher could use to post class notes, assignments and other material, including videos, photos, etc.

Why drop.io? The great thing about drop.io (again, aside from being free) is that you can upload any file size. This allows for a user to have  a place for those big files, like videos and lots of pictures. While this can be a social site, meaning anyone can have access, a user can also have the documents password protected.
