Gone are the days of the flash drive?
I used to be the king of USB sticks. I had one of the first mass marketed USB drives built by IBM when I was still in high school, a whopping 8MB of Flash storage on a gigantic key chain like thing that totally weighed down my pants. Anyway, I've always used flash drives while teaching, either as a way to distribute assignments to students or as a quick and easy way to get my content onto the classroom PC (especially important because I move rooms frequently) Last year however I took the plunge and decided to go "cloud" I had a OneDrive Pro subscription from Microsoft and a ton of free space. I moved all my class content too it and have never looked back. I love not having to remember to stuff the stick in my pocket, worry about forgetting it in the classroom, decrypting it when I want to access the content or just have a mini-heart attack when the flimsy thing breaks. I expect more people will have similar experiences as this technology grows, but I wonder if OneDrive and the cloud storage world will end the USB stick trend in education.
