Practical uses in education Part 1 – Adrive
Adrive popped into conversation today with my network manager. He happened to mention that it had been updated and now no longer needed Java to get it working. I then mentioned that I was about to back up my ‘My Docs’ off the school network ready to start afresh next year… a cunning plan soon developed. A week on Monday I will be running a ‘training’ session on how to use Adrive and back up their user areas.
The beauty of this is that staff will have a back up of their work which they can access from home. Usually home access isn’t an issue as we have RM Easylink. But for 2 reasons this is going to be problematic. Firstly, Easylink has ‘issues’ with Vista and secondly our network will be down a lot over the summe due to high levels of maintanance and software upgrades,
50GB free storage, put to a good use in a school enviroment. Step 2, educating the kids to use Adrive to back up their work.
