Technology for Storing Information

most teachers are time challenged. I suggest looking into the “Jump Drives”
for saving materials, especially if you plan to check it and then delete it

If

bargains.
“Jump Drives” run from $15 to $200, depending on the size you need. Size being 64 MEG to 4 GB. Some good brands to check out are: Lexar, SanDisk, Iomega, Digitalway, Microflash, Sony, Simple tech, and PNY . Lexar and SanDisk have great weekly sales. I just ordered a PNY 1GB for $55 with a $15 reebate.
