Sharing Multimedia Files Home

Have you created some materials in Word or PowerPoint with multimedia supports (e.g. voice notes recorded in document as prompts/feedback, great images in a PowerPoint to explain a topic)?
Want students to use these documents at home?
Middle and High School staff can use Edline to post these larger files and have students or parents open them at home. Students can also use multimedia supports to respond if needed (e.g. recording their own voice notes for answers), and e-mail to the teacher (usually if under 10 MB in size) and bring to school on a portable USB drive. (see prior posts on adding voice notes for teacher prompts and student responses)

For Elementary School staff who may not have access to Edline, you can use a tool like http://www.schoolnotes.com/ to share instructional web-links and smaller files with parents and students at home. To share larger files with multimedia, you can use a file and folder sharing tool like http://www.box.net/ - a video is available to describe some ways to use this for educators.

How have you used Edline to share multimedia files with home? What has worked? What challenges have you encountered?
