For this course, we will be using several online services, including file sharing/storage sites and content creation tools.
Here are two services that are good to be familiar with at the beginning of the semester.
LEARNING GOOGLE DOCUMENTS/GOOGLE DRIVE
If you have a Google account, you can use it to access the web-based "cloud" storage platform Google Drive. This free service allows you to store up to 15GB of documents and media.
Check out the video below for more info:
In addition, you can access the Google Documents area within Google
Drive to create written reports and documents that can be kept private
and/or shared with others. You can even collaborate in "real time" with
others on a single document!
Here is a video that explains more about Google Documents:

LEARNING DROPBOX
Another popular file hosting/sharing service is Dropbox, a free storage space that enables you to easily share and transfer files with others.
This service gives you a limited amount of free storage space that is particularly useful for large file transfers, such as multimedia files.
