Smart BoardI

I am always looking for sites that focus on cross curricular interactive activities. I usually save them in my favourites but forget to share on my blog. This is one of them.

File Hosting Services--Dropbox, Filestork

I found more file sharing services:

In order to avoid sharing email with students, Blogs, Wikis and Google Docs are alternate ways students can submit work instead of written assignments. Another option is to use a file sharing website.

FileStork https://www.filestork.net/ Teachers create a "stand alone" request which will allow you to post an upload link on your blog or website. Visitors use that link to upload a file. People that upload files to your Dropbox through File Stork do not have access to files within your account.
Drop Box https://www.dropbox.com/ Is a service for file sharing....it is free. There is a video you can view in order to learn how to use it.

File hosting Services...File Dropper, Letscrate, Minus

I came across this information through links.
File Dropper http://www.filedroppercom/createaccount.php Simply upload your file and File Dropper will assign a unique URL that can be shared with anyone.

Letscrate http://letscrate.com Once you drag your file onto Letscrate, the site will provide you with a URL that you can send to others in order to be able to access your file. The file will only be there for 30 minutes unless you sign up for a free account in which case the files will be there for as long as you need them.

Minus http://minus.com Just drag your file onto the rectangular canvas. Once your file is on the canvas Minus will provide you with links to share your file with others.
