sharing and sending

Yousendit


 
It's essentially a free delivery service of digital content that enables you to send and receive large files. It's very simple to use both for the person sending the file and the recipient, as he/she receives an email notification with the site url where the file is and the process requires just a few clicks. The total file size we can send must not exceed 100 MB, a quite satisfactory size if we wish to send large chunks of video. Finally, it also offers free a small application (YouSendIt Express) which simplifies and accelerates the upload - download files process, when you are using the service frequently.

Megaupload



A more sophisticated service than Yousendit that provides free storage space (50 GB) to store our files and 500 MB per file. It is certainly ample space to upload anything, and through an application (Mega Manager) provided we can manage our files without having to use the web-browser. Unfortunately, although it is free, it places certain restrictions, for example, you can not upload or download files unless you use Mega Manager application toolbar or Mega Toolbar.

Pedagogical value in eTwinning

Sending large files (usually video or even pictures) by email is a problem which hinders the exchange of relevant information between schools. Using Yousendit or Megaupload students learn new means of technology and Internet to improve communication and data exchange.
