Dropbox is a free service that enables you to bring your photos, documents and videos anywhere and share them easily. You will never have to email yourself a file again. I use this one myself quite a bit if I have to work on things at home. It also has the capabilities to allow you to collaborate on things with colleagues.
This is cloud computing - so remember to BACK IT ALL UP on your computer. Don't just rely on the cloud to take care of it or you may be in for a nasty suprise. Of course, this is also sheer common sense.

Content Curation is something has always occurred in schools - resources were gathered around the topic being taught to help explain and to expand student's understanding. The difference is that previously it was always 'hard' content - books, posters, kits etc while nowadays there is a huge wealth of digital resources. Many of these are often found while searching for something else and often cannot be located when needed. This blog article offers 6 different methods or tools to help you to collect, collate and share what you have found. Curation is about collecting, but it is also about explaining, illustrating, bringing in different points of view and updating the view as it changes.
