Dropbox

The drop boxes work like e-mail. After you click the drop box link, a window will open asking for your name, e-mail address, and allow you to browse your system for your file. You must save your files in a .doc or .rtf format or I cannot read them. Please give them a name that reflects their content. For example save the file as:Q4R Germ Warfare, Questions for Reflection-Food, or use the title of the lesson, e.g. Our Planet, Our Health, etc. You need to clearly and completely fill out all the information requested. To send in your assignment, click Browse, and find the assignment on your computer, e.g., a Word document that you want to submit. Click on Upload (which does the same thing as attaching a file to an e-mail). You should then receive a confirmation that the upload was successful.
