I am writing to inform you about a new internet based tool that students in our class will be using with your permission. Until recently, students working on computers at school have generally used the same kind of computer, with the same software and stored their work in the same place. That work is accessible to students working at school on the school computers. However, students now want the opportunity to work on computer files at home or other places or on different hardware (netbooks, tablets, smart phones, etc.). In addition, our school has purchased __iPads/Netbooks/Mac__ computers that are not set up to save files directly to the school’s digital storage space. The ability to work with a variety of types of computer systems and collaborate any time and any place is an important skill for students to develop in our society.

To ensure that [|students] have the ability to work on a variety of devices and save their work in a space that belongs to them so that other students cannot accidentally delete it, students will be assigned a Dropbox account. Dropbox is an online internet based service that allows students to save their work to the Dropbox servers on the internet (or in the cloud). Work saved in a class folder in Dropbox will automatically be shared with their teacher.
