BP3_2010012_Web 2.0_T1-Filebox

After reviewing several of the Web 2.0 tools from http://www.go2web20.net/. I really liked the Filebox Web 2.0 tool. I can see this being a very useful tool in the classroom, mainly in grades 2nd and higher. Allowing the students to explore web 2.0 tools like this will encourage them to utilize technology for different areas of their life. At the beginning of the school year each student would be instructed to create an account (it's FREE) and instead of saving all their files, videos etc on the school desktop they would use Filebox to store all of their files. Students can use this Web 2.0 tool to store, organize and publish all of their media projects. With just a click of the mouse the students can then share these files with their classmates via email, teachers or even their family. This Web 2.0 tool is very simple to use. The user can upload multiple files at once. Once the files are uploaded, Filebox will give the user the size and share address for each file. The share address is the url the user will use to share the file. This makes sharing large files so easy! No worries abut emailing large files, just upload and share the url! Once the user has uploaded the files to the Filebox, they can easily organize their files using the Filebox File Manager. The user can then rename the files, create directories, and move files to those directories. This Web 2.0 tool is very user friendly and best of all.....it's FREE!! The url for this Web 2.0 tool is http://filebox.com/
