First Day of School

Today is my first day at the Career Center's Academic Academy. I am in the ICT class here, and I've already learned something new. I learned about Dropbox, which works as a thumb drive. First, you create an account. Once you do that, you can start saving documents to the site, where it will store it for you. It's better than a thumb drive because it won't break and you can't lose it. It's powered by Google, as well, so you have your reliable source backing you up. To use Dropbox, you save your pictures or documents to a folder on your computer's hard drive. Then you go to Dropbox, click upload, and select the files you want to save on the site. I think this is very cool and effective. Plus, if you download Dropbox on your home computer and then save something to it somewhere else, it will automatically pop up in the home computer's folder. That's so cool!!

  1. Great to have you in class, Imani Jai! Actually, Dropbox isn't powered by Google (this blog is, but not Dropbox). Dropbox was started by a couple of MIT graduates who were friends and wanted to do something cool. We call it "cloud storage", since you are storing files in "the cloud".

    You mentioned a book you were working on. *Please* tell me more about that.
