This is an amazing resource for a science teacher like myself! I get the dreaded "why do I have to know this?" question far to often. This seems like a great way of naturally answering that.

I laugh at the idea of somebody disagreeing with this resource. I am totally going to use this! I like to incorporate online discussion during movies that I should in my science classroom. One issue I have run into is how to get the conversation to flow and stay on topic. Problem solved! This is definitely a mix of teacher and student usability depending on how you define those 2 types of usage, but I think creation on the part of a student could take place with thi resource as well. Great find!

Dropbox has been a life saver for me with my 8th grade science kids. We do a weather photo project and they must digitally send it to me. Well, the photo projects are usually too large for email so Dropbox to the rescue. This product is one that both teacher and students can use. Perfect for collaboration as others can edit what you share with them. A similar product would be Google Drive.
