Assignment Inbox

All Periods

To make sure that your assignments don't clutter up my email inbox, I'm offering up another option for you to turn in your work. It still has to be in PDF format, but now you don't have to worry about your email getting lost or having to bring the file in on a flash drive.

Go to this link: My MobileMe iDisk Public Folder

Click on INBOX, then on the upload button, then just select your file. That's it. I'll get it.

Zamzar - Free online file conversion

Hey kids,

If you look to the right, underneath "Useful Links," you will see that I added a link to a website called Zamzar. There you can convert your work into PDF files for free. Sometimes it takes a while to get your files back, so don't do any conversions last minute. This link is especially helpful for converting wps files that cannot be opened anywhere in the school.
