share the files

Posted on July 5, 2007

Ramil and I have been thinking of buying another laptop for quite some time now. With me doing part-time work and some blog opportunities, he hasn't been able to bring our laptop to school. It really pays to have your own laptop if you're a teacher. Ramil would usually have a lot of powerpoint presentations to show to his students. Not to mention that our laptop has been having some problems.

It would take us some time and a lot of money though to be able to buy a new one. So right now, we've resorted to backing up our files every now and then. We're also exploring some file sharing so that he can access files even when he is in school. There are also times when we stay in my parents' house in Novaliches and it helps to have access to our files even without our laptop. Good thing we discovered Driveway. What's really good about this new online file sharing service is that it is free! Also, we can upload as many files as we want because it offers unlimited total storage and it has no download limits. Which means we can upload files for our students for download. Since one of our school's thrust is caring for the environment, we've been pushing for a paperless mode of instruction and this just might be a good option. I guess Ramil and I will try it for ourselves for a few days and see what happens.
