That is pretty cool! I wasn't aware of that method in windows 7, though we=
have done that in the Windows 8 DP's we've seen. I just threw that link o=
ut on our facebook and twitter accounts, so hopefully some more tech-savy s=
tudents will try it out. Thanks!

What if your students had their SkyDrive mapped as a network drive? I haven=
't tested this but spoke with another school that was looking into it.

Thoughts?
