FN-GM Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 This seems interesting http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji5ayXmJFz8 1
ZeroHour Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Been on the beta for Skydrive for months now. Its okay, does what it says on the tin
FN-GM Posted October 13, 2007 Author Posted October 13, 2007 Its alright for the Kids who don't have USB drives
tech_guy Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Yeah that's what we do - tell the kids to use it for their coursework.
FN-GM Posted October 13, 2007 Author Posted October 13, 2007 There won't be the excuse that "I lost my USB on the bus"
tech_guy Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 No, but we get lots of 'Sir, I've forgotten my password"........ :x
tech_guy Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Aint kid's great - you can always tell when they haven't done their homework because they couldn't be arsed.
FN-GM Posted October 13, 2007 Author Posted October 13, 2007 Someone i used to go to school with used to give there USB to the teach with a file saying coursework on it, and they corrupted the file so the teacher couldn't open it.
tech_guy Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Yeah we had a kid who used to do that with a floppy disk - the teachers fell for it every time and used to send him up to the server room to see if we could help him. We used to let him play Quake with us over the mini lan we had installed in the server room.
FN-GM Posted October 13, 2007 Author Posted October 13, 2007 doesn't surprise me the teachers believe it because its not an excuse if you know what i mean
Joedetic Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 I've had a kid snap his/her USB key in a USB port before (actually a number of times) then said to the teacher "hmm usb's b0rked." It's then been brought to me in the IT services office and i've gotten out a soldering iron...fixed it and watched the kid stand there bricking it trying to think up excuses why he/she/it STILL hasn't done their GCSE coursework on the third or fourth chance. Most amusing.
localzuk Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Someone i used to go to school with used to give there USB to the teach with a file saying coursework on it, and they corrupted the file so the teacher couldn't open it. We get kids handing in blank cd's saying their courswork is on them. Ah, I wonder if they realise that we know all these excuses, as we invented them when we were in school?
FN-GM Posted October 14, 2007 Author Posted October 14, 2007 what about the excuse i e-mailed it to my self but for some reason i didn't receive it.
kestrel1 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I think we have had all of these & more. Do they think we are stupid. I know a lot of teachers fall for it. I've had the old corrupt floppy & often have got the files back by using scandisk only to find no course work. Funny ain't it. Blank CD's or USB drives are the favourite now.
tech_guy Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 We once were given a usb stick to scan for viruses by a student and found some very interesting pictures on it!
Guest richard Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Going back to the op's orginal post I have just signed up for this today as I can see it having some interesting uses.
FN-GM Posted October 14, 2007 Author Posted October 14, 2007 I think i will start using it for certain files i may unexpectedly need.
