File Sharing on assistivetech.ning

[Samuel Charles Sennott]

Hi, Just thinking that eventually it may be helpful to have a way to post documents and files on this network. How can we do that?

On the Ning site, they talked about how you can edit the site. Possibly, a file sharing component could be beneficial.

A wiki could suffice for now, but it may be good to haggle a gold level one so that larger files can be posted. What do you think?

hmm looks like this is possible...check out the post on the Ning Blog about how to do this.


not sure how big of files this takes though...

I just thought I would test it to see what happens. I attached a letter board I made for a woman who uses a Dynavox V. It is her back up...

Nicole, Good call. For some reason I missed that. It is on the bottom. That's good. Thanks. How much clearer can it get "Would you like to upload files?" Hmmm....Yes..

Hi Samuel

A wiki is a good idea but you're right.. there is the issue of large files.
The other option is Google Pages but that may be more difficult to manage. http://pages.google.com/

Here is an example of a Google page of resources for students with special multiple needs. Its an addendum to this blog.. http://teachinglearnerswithmultipleneeds.blogspot.com/
