File Storage can be useful inside the classroom or outside. Inside the classroom so that teachers can activate numerous activities and content at will, and outside because the students will also be able to access this content at home as they do homework. Research into possible ways to use this technology has revealed a tactic that may be useful.
Chaos learning has received much attention, both positive and negative. In the case of File Storage. If there is content stored on the Internet that students will then access, how can it be done in a way to facilitate learning? Learning does not occur in sequences, rather it is opportunistic. If files provided on the Internet through this method are messy and jumbled up in no particular order, it would make a great homework activity to ask the students to sought it out. To the students, you are not asking them to work on the content or write their perspective on it, much rather you asking them to put it in some sought of order that they think is best. If they can experiment with different ways to display the content then it is necessary for them to at least understand the content without having to prove it with some needless writing task.
