Thing #9 Technology


USB Flash Drives is the "technology thing" that I chose for this assignment. I really didn't know much about flash drives until this class. Now I own a 1 GB SanDisk Cruzer for $20 and a Digital Media flash drive for $20!


Flash drives are becoming the standard method for storing portable data. More and more students are coming in to the media center with their homework assignments on a flash drive. Through this Web 2.0 class, I have learned about the amazing capabilities of this tiny little device! I am able to help students transfer their data and properly remove their flash drive from the computers at school.


Some of the main features of this little device are high storage capacity, small in size which makes it easy to carry and use, stores data, pictures and music, easy transfer of data to another computer and it is affordable!

There are a variety of brands and GB sizes of flash drives to chose from. Click here for a link about more information on the Sandisk Cruzer.

Wow...great post. I look forward to seeing the photo. I agree that flashdrives have to be one of the best tools. You can fit the same amount of data on a small flashdrive that, not so very long ago, only would fit on a very expensive hard drive on your computer.
