File Pigeon
I wanted to just touch base very quickly with one of the coolest websites out there in a long time. While I was working with a great group of teachers in Ohio last week, one of them showed me this site as a way for us to pass our paper slide video files. It was so easy that I asked one of the other teachers to send me a video I had erased from the camera and he sent it to me with ease. You've got to try it! This "tuesdays" is short and sweet intentionally.

One of the biggest dilemmas for teachers who work with student projects is trying to gather them. Sometimes they are stuck on a camera and they can only get the video off with software at home. Other times they are presentations that are very large and won't email due to size restrictions and at times thumb drives just plain run out of space and there's not another one to be found. File Pigeon is a FREE service (and we always love FREE!) where you only need a file and an email to send it to. It doesn't get any easier than that. The simplicity of the site makes it highly recommendable even for students because you do not have to make an account and remember passwords and such. File Pigeon does offer a paid service, but you can do everything you need without creating an account or paying a fee. Great job, File Pigeon. Students and teachers everywhere thank you! |

I would like to encourage you to try File Pigeon right now. It's so simple that you are not even going to believe it. Go ahead. If you want someone to send a file to that you won't be bothering, send it to me or better yet, just send a good sized file to yourself. Whichever way you try it, just try it! Even if you are a Dropbox users or other online storage deal, File Pigeon takes away any and all tracking of files and you'll never fill up the space because you don't have an account!

How do you do that?
How do you use File Pigeon? It has only 3 easy steps:
- Click the Browse button and search for a file on your computer.
- You can even drag the file right onto the screen (pretty cool.)
- Type in a email address.
- Click Send.
Is that unreal? There hasn't been anything this simple in as long as I been passing electronic files. I am an official File Pigeon user! Grace and peace to you this testing season.
