Sharing solution
-
And another request : I am looking for a solution where a closed circle of people could easily share pictures or text in a very easy way (like take a smartphone picture, share, and all done). My kids are in the early years of school, and already get homework, but are sometimes forgetting to note them in their book, or forget one exercise sheet at school, etc.. Other kids do as well, which results in parents wildly texting to know who has the complete set of homework, and share with the ones who don't. My idea was to put the daily homework on a site that all parents could access to read or write. Writing means copying some text or putting a snapshot of a piece of poetry that has to be learned by heart for instance. This should not be too complicated, since we still have a high level of computer illiterates over here (hence the idea of smartphone picture). I thought about a picasa or flickr account, so do everything with pictures, but I do not know if it is so flexible that anybody can get access without logging in, and can modify it without logging in.
Around here, most of the teachers have a web page where they post the assignments. Maybe you could get your child's teachers to do the same. I think some of the teachers are using an outside vendor (i.e. not the school) for the page.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

My first thought was DropBox. Available just about everywhere, and auto-syncs. My second thought is... This may potentially violate some of the rules about cheating. So be careful there. My final thought is that the teachers need to get with the program. Our daughter had blackboard running that kept track of the assignments all on-line (assignment, due date, status, etc) but the teachers were leveraging it.

Shouldn't your school provide this? Talk to the IT staff and Teachers, VP, Principal, PTA.
I am the (hobbyist) IT staff :rolleyes:
