I see a great amount of value in these online storage sites and I will definitely use them in the future. What a great way to not only store and back up but to have access to your documents you may need when you are not on your own computer or your school server. You can actually sign in from any where [that has internet access] and have the ability to see and use documents you may need at that time.
I think I would give up my thumb drive to use these accounts. There is always that worry in the back of my mind that, “Oh! What if their internet access is down and I can’t sign in to the online storage site?” These kinds of things keep me up at night! How about you, Shawn?
I don’t think schools should abandon their own student and staff servers. I think this only because we would lose a lot of the control we have right now. Oh! As I write this I can’t believe I’m saying it! Do we NEED to control everything? Hmmmm
As always, there is concern when students are on the World Wide Web. I think there is always a need for teacher and parental supervision and guidance. This type of site is not all that bad in that the students are saving their own content online but there is always that worry of what if….
