At the department meeting, teachers divided into groups of two to get the materials and resources they would need. They created Dropbox folders for each science course as well as the students. Each science course had its own folder and each student had their own folder within that class folder. Students then had to create their own Dropbox accounts to access their class folders. After the students' and classes' Dropbox folders were created, students could access the materials and resources from anywhere on any device. ]]> 2017-04-23 22:40:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tmclabaugh/l32hhzmw9u2w/wish/167714901 tmclabaugh https://padlet.com/tmclabaugh/l32hhzmw9u2w/wish/167715416 The teachers all agreed that using Dropbox for Science was a good improvement.
